Abstract

The palm oil industry has a main product and a byproduct that can be used as a feeding. One of the product that has not been widely studied is the palm kernel powder. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect offeeding ration containing palm kernel powder on carcass percentage, commercial cut, and abdominal fat of broilers. There treatments were; P1 (control), P2 (ration contained palm kernel powder and pollard), P3 (ration contained palm karnel powder and rice bran) with 6 replications. The results showed that the percentage of carcass and commercial cut of broiler fed palm kernel powder (P2 and P3) was lower than control, but increased commercial cuts (thighs, upper thigh, wings, and back). Abdominal fat of P2 was higher compared to P1 and P3.Feeding palm kernel powder in the diet decreasedcarcass percentage and increased commercial cuts except the breast and abdominal fat.
