The aim of this study was to find out the best dose of red ginger (Zingiber officinale var. rubrum) and turmeric (Curcuma longa) mixture with a ratio of 1:1 which could produce the best performance and carcass quality of broiler. The experiment used 100 broiler day old chicken with a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). There were four kind of treatments (R0: Based ration, R1: Based ration +0.25% red ginger + 0.25% turmeric, R2: Based ration + 0.5% red ginger + 0.5% turmeric, R3: Based ration +0.75% red ginger + 0.75% turmeric, where each treatment was repeated five times and each repeated consist five broiler chicks. Analysed variables were feed consumption, body gain weight, feed conversion, carcass weight, fat abdominal and meat cholesterol. Statistical analysis indicated that addition of mixed Red Ginger and turmeric meal did not significantly affect (P>0.05) on feed consumption, abdominal fat and significantly to gain on body weight, feed conversion, carcass weight and meat cholesterol. It can be concluded that by using until 1% in the ration produced good performance and carcass quality of broiler.
