Kampung Super chicken as meat type chicken is an animal protein resource whose demand increases every year. The taste of Kampung Super chicken meat is much more delicious and preferred by consumers. However, some disadvantage traits such as low productivity, not uniform performances, and cannibalism are still found in Kampung Super chicken population. Therefore, to improve the performance of Kampung Super chicken, utilization of prebiotic from a potential natural source such as Dioscorea hispida Dennst should be studied. Therefore, the objective of this review was to evaluate prebiotic contained in Dioscorea hispida Dennst and its potency in improving the performances of meat type chicken. This review was divided into four main discussions i.e., characteristics of Kampung Super chicken as white meat producer, prebiotic profile contained in Dioscorea hispida Dennst, the role of prebiotics in the chicken digestive tract, and inulin as prebiotics in increasing productivity of chicken. Based on the results discussed in this review, it could be assumed that inulin content in Dioscorea hispida Dennst might be a promising prebiotic for poultry feed and might improve the performances of meat type chicken.
