Abstract
A factorial design was used to evaluate the effect of Sauropus androgynus leaf extract (SALE) and
turmeric powder (TP) on the performance of broilers fed a high-fat diet. Two dietary fat sources (6% beef
tallow or 6% palm oil), and five mixtures of SALE plus TP (0 g SALE plus 0 g TP, 9 g SALE plus 0.5 g TP,
18 g SALE plus 0.5 g TP, 9 g SALE plus 1 g TP, 18 g SALE plus 1 g TP) were studied. Experimental
results showed that dietary fat sources, and SALE plus TP mixture had no effect on body weight
gain, feed intake, and feed conversion ratio (P>0.05). No interaction was found between two factors
(P>0.05). In conclusion, the addition of SALE plus TP to a high-fat diet did not improve broiler
performance.
