Chicken’s meat is commonly eaten by most of the world's population. Besides, it has a good source of dietary protein and can provide high biological value, the meat also has a source of fat including saturated fatty acids (SFA), unsaturated fatty acids (USFA), cholesterol, triacylglycerol and phospholipids. But lipids categories can be the risk factors or the initiator of metabolic disease. The study aimed to know a potential and the best level of combination chitosan and turmeric powder for improving composition of blood lipid profile such as cholesterol and triacylglycerol, so it can increasing meat quality. The experimental was held for 30 days and the blood samples was investigated in the last days. The experimental design was used completely randomized design with 5 treatment (R1 = Chitosan 0% + Turmeric Powder 0%; R2 = C 1% + T.P 1%; R3 = C 2% + T.P 1%; R4 = C 1% + T.P 2%; R2 = C 2% + T.P 2%) and 4 replicated, in total using 100 DOC. The result is significantly (P<0,05) decreasing cholesterol and triacylglycerol levels. The best level recommendation of combination chitosan and turmeric powder is 1-2%.
