Abdominal fat is one of the body fats located in the abdominal cavity. A high level of
abdominal fat can affect the carcass yield, ultimately reducing the proportion of meat produced.
This study aims to investigate the effect of providing Physalis extract in drinking water on the
abdominal fat of broilers. The research was conducted at the Farm of the Faculty of Animal
Science, Udayana University, over 31 days, using a completely randomized design (CRD) with three treatments and six replications, with five birds per treatment unit. The treatments were: P0
= no Physalis extract; P1 = 2% Physalis extract; and P2 = 4% Physalis extract. The variables
observed included pad fat, mesenteric fat, ventriculus fat, and abdominal fat. The research
results showed that the administration of ciplukan extract in drinking water at levels of 2% and
4% had no significant effect (P>0.05) on the percentage of pad fat, mesenteric fat, ventricular
fat, and abdominal fat in broilers. It can be concluded that administering ciplukan extract on
2% and 4% level in drinking water has not been able to reduce the abdominal fat percentage in
broilers.
ABSTRAK
Lemak abdominal merupakan salah satu lemak tubuh pada bagian rongga perut, akibat
yang ditimbulkan jika lemak abdominal tinggi dapat mempengaruhi jumlah karkas, pada
akhirnya akan mengurangi proporsi daging yang dihasilkan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk
mengetahui pengaruh pemberian ekstrak ciplukan melalui air minum terhadap lemak
abdominal broiler. Penelitian dilaksanakan di Farm Sesetan Fakultas Peternakan, Universitas
Udayana, berlangsung selama 31 hari. Rancangan acak lengkap (RAL) yang digunakan dengan
tiga perlakuan dan enam ulangan, serta setiap unit perlakuan diisi 5 ekor broiler. Adapun
perlakuan melalui air yaitu; P0 = 0% ekstrak ciplukan; P1 = 2% ekstrak ciplukan; dan P2 = 4%
ekstrak ciplukan. Variabel yang diamati yaitu, lemak bantalan, lemak mesentrium, lemak
ventrikulus, dan lemak abdominal. Hasil penelitian pemberian ekstrak ciplukan melalui air
minum dengan level 2% dan 4% berbeda tidak nyata (P>0,05) terhadap persentase lemak
bantalan, lemak mesentrium, lemak ventrikulus, dan lemak abdominal broiler. Berdasarkan
hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa pemberian ekstrak ciplukan pada taraf 2% dan 4%
melalui air minum belum mampu untuk menurunkan persentase lemak abdominal broiler.
