The aim of this research was to examine the impact of nano encapsulation of
Melastoma malabathricum L. fruit extract as feed additive that was given through
drinking water towards lipid profile of broiler chicken. Experimental design used in this
research was completely randomized design using six increment treatments of
Melastoma malabathricum L. fruit extract to the drinking water of the chicken each with
five repetitions. Detail of treatment rations were as follow: T0 drinking water treatment
without feed additive (negative control), T1 drinking water treatment + 0.2 mg/kg body
weight simvastatin (positive control), T2 drinking water treatment + 1.5% Melastoma
malabathricum L. fruit extract, T3 drinking water treatment + 3.0% Melastoma
malabathricum L. fruit extract, T4 drinking water treatment + 1.5% nano encapsulation
of Melastoma malabathricum L. fruit extract, T5 drinking water treatment + 3.0% nano
encapsulation of Melastoma malabathricum L. fruit extract. Observed Parameters were
the blood lipid profile, cholesterol of meat and crude fat of meat. The results showed
that adding the nano encapsulation of Melastoma malabathricum L. fruit extract did not
give significant effect (P>0.05) on blood lipid profile and crude fat of the thigh and
breast of the broilers. Addition of nano encapsulation of Melastoma malabathricum L.
fruit extract gives real impact (P
