Parijoto fruit contains flavonoids, antioxidants, and saponins, which can protect body cells and tissues from free radicals. This study aimed to assess the effect of microencapsulated parijoto fruit extract-Lactobacillus plantarum (MPFE-Lp) on fat digestibility and meat fattening in broiler chickens raised at high densities. The experimental chickens used were 308 unsexed Ross strain broilers, 8 days old, with an average body weight of 208.42 g. Microencapsulated parijoto fruit extract-Lactobacillus plantarum served as a combination of phytobiotics and probiotics. The feed ingredients included yellow corn, rice bran, soybean meal, fish meal, limestone, premix, lysine, and methionine. The study was designed using a completely randomized design with 3 treatments and 7 replications, resulting in 21 experimental units. The treatments applied included T0 = chickens raised at normal density (10 chickens/m2) without 0.6% MPFE-Lp, T1 = chickens raised at high density (17 chickens/m2) without 0.6% MPFE-Lp, and T3 = chickens raised at high density (17 chickens/m2) with 0.6% MPFE-Lp. The parameters measured included fat digestibility, meat fat mass, and relative abdominal fat weight. Data were processed using analysis of variance at a 5% significance level. If a significant effect was found, a Duncan test at a 5% level was used to determine differences between treatments. The results showed that the addition of 0.6% MPFE-Lp to the ration had a significant effect (p<0.05) on fat digestibility and fatty meat of broiler chickens raised at high density. The conclusion of the study is that the addition of 0.6% MPFE-Lp to the ration can reduce fat digestibility and fatty meat of broiler chickens raised at high density.
