Sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) waste content of flavonoids, namely quercetin and kaempferol, which is expected to inhibit the growth of bacteria. Kaempferol have antibacterial activity, denaturate bacterial cell proteins and cell membranes without damage irreparable. While quercetin has increased permeability porin protein activity on other bacteria. Research about Decreasing Cholesterol and Triglyceride Level on Blood by Adding Sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) waste (SOW) on Sheep Padjajaran 1. This research was done by using Completely Randomized Design with four treatments level i.e. 0, 4, 6 and 8% SOW in ration and repeated five times. The observed variables were blood’s lipid profile, consists of cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and triglyceride. The observation showed that level of blood’s lipid profile were not significantly changed, but the trend of cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and triglyceride was decreased. The conclusion is using sweet orange waste (SOW) until 8% has not showed statistically significant differences but have positive effect on lowering blood lipids, i.e. cholesterol level decreased 8.05%, LDL 10%, triglyceride 23.4 % on R4 (8%) while using 4% SOW, triglycerides level decreased 24.8% and decreased 33.53% on using 6%.
