Abstract
This study was conducted to investigate the effects of diets that contained different levels of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) on production performance and carcass trait of broiler at 39 day of age. A total of 180 broiler chicks separated into 4 treatments with 3 replications per treatment were allocated into completely randomized design (CRD). Four level of sweet potato at 0, 3, 6 and 9% were added in feed, respectively. The broiler were fed ad libitum throughout 39 day experimental period. The results showed that production performance and carcass trait of broiler were similar among treatments (P>0.05). However, cholesterol and triglyceride in serum were significantly decreased (P<0.05) when levels of sweet potato increased. Therefore, supplementing 9% sweet potato (DM) in broiler diet is benefit on reducing cholesterol in broiler meat. The production of low-cholesterol broiler chickens by supplementing natural ingredient, sweet potato, can potentially increase the value and consumption of chicken meat.
