The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of ginger (Zingiber officinale) fermented extract in drinking water on the water consumtion, carcass quality, weight of slaughter, carcass weight, percentages carcass, abdominal fat weight and feed intake broiler chicks. A total of two hundred unsexed 1 d-old chicks strain Lohman. The design of experiment was a Completely Randomized Design with five treatments and four replications. Each experimental unit comprised 10 of birds. Treatment groups were as follows P0 = drinking water without addition fermented ginger extract 0 cc (control); P1 = drinking water with addition fermented ginger extract 2 cc; P2 = drinking water with addition fermented ginger extracts 4 cc; P3 = drinking water with addition fermented ginger extract 6 cc; P4 = drinking water with addition fermentasi ginger extract 8 cc.
