The purpose of this research was to determine the substitution of goroho banana (Musa acuminafe sp.) stem meal fermented with Trichoderma viride on blood lipid profiles and meat quality of broiler chicken. One hundred and twenty day old chick CP 707 divided into 20 unit cages, each unit consisted of 6 chickens. Complatelly Randomised Design (CRD) was used in this research with 4 treatments and 5 replications. The treatments were: R0 = 100% corn without goroho banana stem meal fermented, R1 = 95% corn + 5% goroho banana stem meal fermented, R2 = 90% corn + 10% goroho banana stem meal fermented and R3 = 85% corn + 15% goroho banana stem meal fermented. Parameter measured were blood lipide profiles (triglyceride, total cholesterol, HDL, LDL) and meat cholesterol. The results showed that substitution of goroho banana stem meal fermented had a significant effect (P<0.05) on a decreased in blood trigliseride, blood cholesterol and meat cholesterol, R3 has significant different (P<0.05) lowest compared to the other treatments (R0, R1 and R2). On the other hand there were no significant effect (P>0.05) on blood HDL and LDL among the treatments. It can be concluded that goroho banana (Musa acuminafe sp.) stem meal fermented with Trichoderma viride can be substituted up to 15% corn meal in ration which improved the meat quality.
