The research was conducted on September 11, 2020 until completion, located at experimental farm of Muhammadiyah University of Malang. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of centella asiatica powder in rations on the digestiability of coarse fat, coarse fiber, and metabolic energy of broilers. \nThe material used is a broiler strain MB 202 which is kept from the age of 1 day to 35 days as many as 100 heads. This study there are 5 treatments namely P0 (feed without Centella asiatica powder 0%), P1 (feed with Centella asiatica powder 0.5%), P2 (feed with Centella asiatica powder 1%) P3 (feed with centella asiatica powder 1.5%) and P4 (feed with Centella asiatica powder 2%) and with 4 replays.
