Processed tomatoes (Lycopersicon escuentum) waste are rejected tomatoes that have been processed by steaming at 98o C, then adding 0.5% coconut oil. This processing aims to increase the release of lycopene from the matrix tomato, change its structure from trans to cis lycopene, and increase the absorption of lycopene in the digestive tract of laying hens. Lycopene is a compound in tomatoes and is known to inhibit cholesterol synthesis. Cholesterol in the body is transported in the blood by lipoproteins. Therefore, that is important to know the effect of giving processed tomatoes wastes (PTW) on laying hens to lipid profile of blood serum consist of cholesterol total, triglycerides, LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein), and HDL (High Density Lipoprotein). Two hundred laying hens of the Lohman Brown were healthy, had no physical defects, weighed 1600-1800 g, and produced 82% at the age of 32weeks at the beginning of the treatment. They were randomly housed in cages (one bird per cage, ten cages per replicate) and subjected to one of five experimental diets. This experiment used a completely randomized design (CRD) with 5 different ration treatments, consist of Ration A = 0% PT W, Ration B = 0% PTW + 0.03% simvastatin, Ration C = 6% PTW, Ration D = 12% PTW, and Ration E = 18% PTW. The administration of PTW in laying hens affected cholesterol total, LDL, and triglycerides very significant (P <0.01). The highest cholesterol is in administration 0% PTW (119.20 Mg/dL), and the lowest is in administration 0.03% Simvastatin (101,55 Mg/dL). The triglyceride content of 0% PTW (693.08 Mg/dL) and 6% PTW (691.08 Mg/dL) was higher (P<0.05) than administration 12 PTW (615.98 Mg/dL) and 18% PTW (597.95 Mg/dL), and 0.03% simvastatin supplementation (595.85 Mg/dL). The lowest LDL is in the administration of 0.03% Simvastatin (16.27 Mg/dL). While the administration of PTW or supplementation simvastatin there was no affected (P> 0.05) HDL content. Giving PTW up to 18% can reduce cholesterol total as much as 8.69%, triglycerides as much as 13.73%, LDL as much as 32.03%, and maintain HDL (19.09 Mg/dL).
