摘要

The study aimed to evaluate the effect of encapsulated Averrhoa carambola L. leaf extract (EAC) as a phytobiotic feed additive on carcass traits, physical and chemical meat quality, and fatty acid profile of broiler chicken meat. A total of 280 one-day-old chicks were allocated into four treatments with seven replicates/treatment and 10 broilers/replicate (CON: basal diet; EAC1: basal diet supplemented with 500 mg/kg EAC; EAC2: basal diet supplemented with 1000 mg/kg EAC; EAC3: basal diet supplemented with 1500 mg/kg EAC). Live body weight was increased (P < 0.05) in EAC1 compared to the CON group. Eviscerated carcass was higher (P < 0.05) in CON and EAC3 than EAC1. The proportions of breast were higher (P < 0.05) in EAC2 and EAC3 compared to CON. The proportions of thigh were higher (P < 0.05) in CON compared to EAC2. The lightness (L*) value of breast meat was lower (P < 0.05) in CON and EAC1 compared to EAC2 and EAC3. The L* value of thigh meat was lower (P < 0.05) in EAC1 compared to EAC2. The b* value of thigh meat was lower (P < 0.05) in EAC1 compared to EAC3. The lipid content of breast meat was lower (P < 0.05) in EAC3 compared to CON and EAC1. The cholesterol content of breast and thigh meat was lower (P < 0.05) in EAC1 and EAC2 compared to CON. The moisture content of thigh meat was lower (P < 0.05) in EAC2 and EAC3 compared to CON and EAC1. The lipid content of thigh meat was lower (P < 0.05) in EAC3 compared to CON. In conclusion, the encapsulated of Averrhoa carambola L. is beneficial for enhancing live body weight, breast proportion, crude protein of thigh meat, MUFA content of breast meat and reducing moisture, lipid and cholesterol in breast and thigh meat of broiler chicken.
