Abstract
The objective of this research was to evaluate the effects of gedi leaves (Abelmoschus manihot
(L.) Medik) on blood lipid profiles and carcass quality of broilers. A
hundred chickens were allocated to four diet treatments, with 5
replications. The diets were basal diet (R0), 5% GLM (R1), 10% GLM (R2),
and 15% GLM (R3). Treatments had no significant effect on total blood
cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL-cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol,
significantly effect on reducing carcass weight and abdominal fat, but
recorded no significantly effect on carcass percentage. It can be
concluded that adding gedi leaves to broiler diets might provide benefit
for functional food.
