【 摘 要 】

Garlic has been well known as one of the medicinal plants. In addition, active compounds in the garlic may also induce performance of chicken. This research aimed to investigate the effect of garlic supplementation in drinking water on the performance of broiler chickens, carcass weight, and quantity of abdominal fat weight. Completely randomized design (CRD) was arranged. One-day old broiler chickens Lohmann MB 202 with initial weight of ±40 g (unsexed, 100 birds), were randomly introduced to the following treatments: (P0) water + 0% carcass; (P1) water + 3% carcass; (P2) water + 6% carcass and (P3) water + 9% carcass. Each treatment was carried out at 5 replications, using at least 5 chickens for each replication. Garlic was supplemented in water for chickens, from one-day old to the end of experimental period (35 days). Based on the experimental results, it can be concluded that the giving of garlic solution does not have an effect on the overall performance of the broiler, carcass weight, and abdominal fat, but based on the average value of performance, carcass weight and abdominal fat it can be concluded that treatment P0 gives better than other treatments (P1, P2 and P3).
