The research aimed to evaluate the impact of dietary fermentedseaweed (Turbinaria murayana) with Indigenous Micro-Organism (IMO’s) from fruit waste as starter on performance, carcass yield and giblets percentage. A total of 100 one- d- old Arbor Acres CP 707 broilers was raised for 4 weeks of age. The birds were distributed into 5 treatments with 4 replicates in a completely randomized design. The fermented seaweed was supplemented at the level of 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 % in the diets. The observed variables were live weight, body weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, percentage of carcass and giblets weight. The results showed that Turbinaria murayana fermented by IMO’s fruit waste up to 20% on feed highly significant effect (P≤0.01) of body weight, feed conversion, carcass quality, and did not significant effect of nutrient consumption and physiology organ. In conclusion, utilization of fermented Turbinaria murayana by IMO’s fruit wasted can be supplemented up to 15% in broiler diets to replace corn and rice bran.
