The objective of this research was to evaluate the effects of gedi leaves (Abelmoschus manihot (L.) Medik) on blood lipid
profiles and carcass quality of broilers. A hundred chickens were allocated to four diet treatments, with 5 replications. The diets were
basal diet (R0), 5% GLM (R1), 10% GLM (R2), and 15% GLM (R3). Treatments had no significant effect on total blood
cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL-cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol, significantly effect on reducing carcass weight and abdominal fat,
but recorded no significantly effect on carcass percentage. It can be concluded that adding gedi leaves to broiler diets might provide
benefit for functional food.
