The experiment was carried out to study the effect of purple sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas), noni (Morinda citrifolia L), and beetle (Piper beetle L) leaves in diets on chemical profile of bali duck blood. Four treatment diets were used i a completely randomized design (CRD) consisted of control diet A (diet without containing any leaves), diet B containg purple sweet potato leaf (Ipomoea batatas L), diet C containing noni leaf (Morinda citrifolia L), and diet D containing beetle leaf (Piper beetle L). Each treatment consisted of four replications and each replication consisted of four ducks. Variables observed in this study were level of uric acid, level of sugar, blood lipids profile including total cholestero (TC), high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), triglyceride (TGA_, and consumption of antioxidant. In general the result showed that addition of purple swwet potato, noni, and beetle leaves in the diet were significantly reduce the total of blood cholestero, HDL, LDL, TGA, level of uric acid and sugar. However, the HDL contentof duck blood in the treatment B was found similar to the control diet (P>0.05). These results might be related to the intakes of antioxidant which were higher in treatment C and D compared to the control diet (P<0.05) but treatment B was not significantly different to the control group. It was concluded that the leaves of purple sweet potato, noni, and beetle in the diet could improve the chemical profile of bali duck blood. When the three treatments (B, C, and D) were compared, it seemed that beetle leaf was the most effective source of antioxidant in improving chemical profile of bali duck blood.
