dc.description.abstract	Objective of this study was to determine the effects of dietary cinnamon bark powder (CNPW) on growth performance, carcass fat and serum cholesterol levels of broiler chicken. Giving a completely randomize design, ninety broiler chicks in 30 pens received broiler finisher diets containing either 0% (control), 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 0.4 or 0.5% CNPW ad libitum from day 23-43. Dietary CNPW tend (p=0.09) to increase the feed intake and feed conversion ratio (FCR) but had no effects on final live weight, weight gain, visceral organ weight, and gizzard, cloaacl and total fat contents or serum cholesterol level. Dietary CNPW at 0.1 and 0.4% increased the abdominal fat content compared to control. It was concluded that dietary CNPW used has no growth promoting or fat reducing effects in broiler chicken.	en_US
