The purpose of this study was to evaluate the addition of black garlic & Curcuma zanthorrhiza Roxb on broiler carcass and abdominal fat. A completely randomized design (CRD) was conducted with five treatments and four replications. Each replication consisted of 10 chickens and a total of 200  broilers was used. The broilers were randomly allocated into 20 unit of cages. The feeding treatments were P0 = 100% commercial feed without black garlic powder (BGP) and curcuma powder (CP) addition as a feeding control, P1 = P0 + 3% BGP + 0% TP, P2 = P0 + 2% BGP + 1% TP, P3 = P0 + 1% BGP + 2% TP, and P4 = P0 + 0% BGP + 3% TP. The measured variables were feed consumption, slaughtered weight, carcass weight, and abdominal fat percentage. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to analyze the data and the significant result was tested with Duncan's multiple range test to determine whether the treatment had a significant effect. According to the results of this study, the utilization of black garlic and curcuma in broiler diets was not significantly different  in all variables. It was concluded that the usage of black garlic and curcuma did not increase carcass weight and abdominal fat in broilers. Key words:        abdominal fat, black garlic, broiler, carcass, Curcuma zanthorrhiza Roxb

This study evaluated the effect of feeding broiler garlic processing on performance. In a completely randomized design (CRD), 200 one-day-old broiler chicks were randomly allocated to four diet treatments, with five replicates of ten birds each. The treatment diets are as follows; the control T0 (0%), 3% fresh garlic (T1), 3% garlic powder (T2), and 3% black garlic powder (T3), respectively. Supplementation of black garlic powder would be more costly than others. Feed and water were supplied ad libitum. The average temperature and humidity observed were 27±3°C and 83%. The parameters measured were; feed intake, weight gain, feed conversion ratio, final body weight, and mortality. The result showed that supplementation of garlic processing had a significant effect (P<0.05) on performances. T1 had the highest feed intake (P<0.05). The weight gain differs significantly (P<0.05) between T1 and T3. T2 had a significant impact on final body weight (P<0.05). Although tending to have a lower feed conversion ratio in T2, there is no significant effect on feed conversion ratio and mortality. It was reported that supplementing 3 % garlic powder (T2) improves broiler growth performance and final body weight.

This study aimed to determine the effect of dietary processed garlic in feed on the performance, intestinal weight, intestinal length, and morphology of the intestinal villi of broilers. A total of 200 Day-Old-Chick (DOC) Cobb strains (unsexed) with an average body weight of 42 ± 3 g were randomly allocated to four experimental groups with five replications, each containing ten chicks per replication. The treatments were T0 (basal diet as control), T1 (basal diet + 3% garlic paste), T2 (basal diet + 3% garlic powder), and T3 (basal feed + 3% black garlic powder). The variables measured were feed intake, body weight gain, feed conversion ratio, final body weight, intestinal weight, intestinal length, and intestinal villi morphology. The data were analyzed for variance based on a Completely Randomized Design. If there was a difference, Duncan's multiple range test was applied. The results showed that the treatment had a significant effect (p<0.05) on intestinal weight, but there was no significant effect on intestinal length and performance. The addition of processed garlic increased the height and width of the villi of the intestines of broilers. The present study's findings suggest that the dietary intake of processed garlic significantly improved the intestinal weight and morphology of broiler villi. However, it did not significantly improve performance.
