Sentul chicken is one of the local chicken come from Ciamis, West Java-Indonesia, and a dual-purpose type that can utilized for eggs and meat production. In other way, this bird is very good for chicken meat species, because has a compact body and white skin color. One of alternative to improve the sentul chicken quality is by giving the ration which has papaya leaf meal; rich of high crude protein, contained carotene, vitamin C and high of minerals. The research aimed to find out how far the treatment on the yielding characteristics. The research used 75 day old chick and then divided into twenty five cages. The experiment conducted with Completely Randomized Design, five papaya leaves meal levels in the ration, namely: 0% (R0), 2.5% (R1) ,5% ( R2), 7.5% ( R3), and 10% (R4), repeated five times, where each replication consist of three sentul chickens. Final body weight, carcass percentage and abdominal fat percentage were parameters observed. The results showed that by using papaya leaf meal up until 7.5% gave no significant effect (P >0.05) on final body weight, carcass percentage and abdominal fat percentage. But by giving 10% papaya leaf meal gave decreased effect on final body weight, carcass percentage and abdominal fat percentage (P<0.05). The real conclusion of this experiment that by giving 7.5% papaya leaf meal gave the best of carcass quality
