The use of turmeric is restricted by its low solubility in water, therefore it has low bioavailability. This
obstacle can be solved by the development of nanoparticle technology to improve drug delivery profile. This
study aimed to develop nanoparticle formulation using turmeric extract and industrial chitosan as the matrix
and sodium-tripolyphosphate as cross linker, to study its ability to improve feed digestibility. Method used in
the formulation of nanoparticle in this study was by ionic gelation followed by oven drying at 50°C. Method
used to evaluate the digestibility was total collection. One hundred and twenty broiler chickens with an
average body weight of 900 g, were randomly divided into 20 treatments (one treatment was fasted and 19
were treated with the ration plus feed additive), and six replicates were performed on each test. Chickens
were fasted one day before and after they were treated with rations. Nutrient levels and the amount of feed
consumed and excreta released were weighed to calculate the digestibility of the ration. It was found that the
basal ration had dry matter digestibility of 70.48% significantly lower compared to the basal ration plus
nanocapsule turmeric extract: NP level at 0.4% for in EE and EA were 73.11 and 75.90%. The results of this
study concluded that formulation of nanocapsule using turmeric extract and industrial chitosan as the matrix
and sodium tripolyphosphate as cross linker was potential to increase nutrient digestibility, therefore, it can be
an alternative for feed additive in broiler chicken diet
