The purpose of this research was to investigate the use of candlenut powder (Aleurites mollucana (L.) Willd.) as feed additive on broiler performance. Materials used in this research were 200 day-old broiler chicks. Research method were in vivo in Completely Randomized Design with 5 treatments (P0 = basal diets, P1 = basal diets + 0.25 % candlenut powder, P2 = basal diets + 0.50 % candlenut powder, P3 = basal diets + 0.75 % candlenut powder, P4 = basal diets + 1 % candlenut powder), each treatment replicated 5 times. Variable measures were live performance (feed intake, FCR, BWG, and IOFC), tabulated data were analyzed using Analyze of Variance (ANOVA), significant differences continued with Duncan’s Multiple Range Test. The result showed that candlenut powder usage as feed additive gave significantly influenced (P<0.01) on feed consumtion, feed convertion ratio. The treatment did not gave significant influenced (P>0.05) on average daily gain and income over feed cost. It can be concluded that candlenut powder usage in feed as feed additive the optimum level of 1 %.
