This research aims to study the effect of fermented Sauropus androgynus leaf in drinking water of hens on egg production and egg cholesterol. The experimental design used was completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three treatments and six replications, where each replication used tens Lohmann Brown chickens 70 weeks old. The three treatments were Lohmann Brown chicken which was given drinking water without addition of katuk leaf water extract as control (A), Lohmann Brown hens given of 2% fermented Katuk leaf extract in drinking water, and Lohmann Brown hens given of 4% fermented Katuk leaf in drinking water (C). The Results showed that 2% and 4% fermented leaves of katuk extract in drinking water of birds were increased significantly different effect (P<0.05) on feed efficiency, number of eggs, egg weight, protein content, yolk colour, and significantly effect (P <0.05) on decreased both cholesterol and fat levels in egg yolk of Lohmann Brown aged 70 weeks old. It was concluded that fermented of Sauropus androgynus leaf in drinking water of hens can improve egg production and egg yolk colour, but may decrease yolk cholesterol in laying hens.
