The study aimed to determine the effect of Annona squamosa L. leaf extract through drinking water on the growth of cockerel᾿s and cholesterol content of cockerel meat. The study used a completely randomized design (CRD), with five treatments and six replications, each experimental unit consisted of 5 cockerels. The treatments consisted of chicken without added sugar apple leaf extract in drinking water (T0), added sugar apple leaf extract @1% (T1), 2% (T2), 3% (T3), 4% (T4). The addition of sugar apple leaf extract drinking water had no significant effect on the TPC variable (CFU/g) in the digestive tract, while E. coli and coliform were lower than the control (T0). The final weight and weight gain of cockerels that received T3 treatment were the highest compared to other treatments. The addition of sugar apple extract through drinking water had no significant effect on the variables of ration consumption and ration conversion. Cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, and HDL in the meat of cockerels were not affected by additional treatment of sugar apple extract in drinking water. It can be concluded that the addition of Annona squamosa Linn leaf extract through drinking water has significant positive effects on the weight gain of cockerels.
