Abstract
This study investigated the effect of supplementation of Sauropus androgynus extract (SAE) and turmeric powder on fat deposition in broiler chickens fed high-fat diets. One hundred and fifty of 21 days-old broiler chickens were distributed to 10 treatment groups of 3 pens of 5 broiler chickens as replicates. Completely randomized experimental design was used in this experiment. Ten treatment groups were as follows: 1) broiler chickens were fed 6% palm oil containing diet without supplementation; 2) broiler chickens were fed 6% palm oil containing diet supplemented with 9 g SAE plus 0.5g turmeric powder; 3) broiler chickens were fed 6% palm oil containing diet supplemented with 18 g SAE plus 0.5 g turmeric powder; 4) broiler chickens were fed 6% palm oil containing diet supplemented with 9 g SAE plus 1 g turmeric powder; 5) broiler chickens were fed 6% palm oil containing diet supplemented with 18 g SAE plus 1 g turmeric powder; 6) broiler chickens were fed 6% tallow containing diet without supplementation; 7) broiler chickens were fed 6% tallow containing diet supplemented with 9 g SAE plus 0.5g turmeric powder; broiler chickens were fed 6% tallow containing diet supplemented with 18 g SAE plus 0.5 g turmeric powder; 9) broiler chickens were fed 6% tallow containing diet supplemented with 9 g SAE plus 1 g turmeric powder; 10) broiler chickens were fed 6% tallow containing diet supplemented with 18 g SAE plus 1 g turmeric powder. Experimental results showed that supplementation of this feed supplement had no effect on abdominal fat (P>0.05) neck fat (P>0.05),   Fatty Liver Score (P>0.05) and meat fat (P>0.05), but it reduced meat cholesterol content. SAE plus turmeric powder inclusion affected lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid (P<0.01), but it had no effect on oleic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, docosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid. In conclusion, supplementation of 18 g SAE plus 1 g turmeric powder to high fat diet reduced meat cholesterol content and changed fatty acid composition.
