AB - Many studies investigate the use of noni
(Morinda citrifolia L.) fruit as natural additive in broiler
diets but there is a lack of information on the e ect of Noni
in diets on local chickens. The current study aims to
determine the effect of Noni fruit extract supplemented
with Cu and Zn on production performance of Sentul
Chickens. A total of 100 birds of Grey Sentul Chickens
aged one day were assigned randomly into 5 treatment
groups, each with four replicates and each group
treatment contained 5 birds in a completely randomized
design. The treatments were basal diet added with
different level of Noni fruit extract supplemented by
inorganic minerals (CuSO4 and ZnO). The results showed
that the addition of Noni fruit extract supplemented with
Cu and Zn significantly increased feed intake (in Month
II), body weight and body weight gain (in Month III) and
carcass weight. However, the treatments reduced the
height and width of villi in the intestinal organ of Sentul
chickens. The study indicates that increasing Noni fruit
extract in diets at a certain level had positive effects on
chicken performance.
