Coriander contains flavonoid, which is antibacterial in nature, and it also has an antioxidant that can enhance the work of immune system. The objective of this experiment was to study the effect of coriander seed in the diet on the internal organs of broilers. The research was conducted in the Laboratory of Poultry Production (Cage B), Faculty of Animal Science, Bogor Agricultural University. This study used by a completely randomized design (CRD). The study involved 120 DOC with 4 dietary treatments and 3 replication (10 broilers / cage). The dietary treatments consisted of P0 (control, without corianders seeds), P1 (1% coriander seeds), P2 (2% coriander seeds) and P3 (3% coriander seeds). The data obtained were analyzed using analysis of variance, ANOVA. The treatment that indicated a significant effect on the observed variables would be further tested by using Duncan. The research results show that the treatment of giving coriander seeds were not significant different (P> 0.05) compared to the control on gizzard, duodenum, jejenum, illeum, pancreas, seka, liver, heart and spleen. The coriander seeds treatment was significantly different (P <0.05) compared to the control on the bursa fabrisius and highly significantly different (P <0.01) on thymus weight. Coriander seeds treatment up to the level of 3% had no effects on the gizzard, duodenum, jejenum, illeum, pancreas, seka, liver, heart, kidneys, and spleen of broilers aged 5 weeks.
