A research was conducted to study effect of ration containing various Curcuma as additive upon growth, carcass production, and carcass fat quality of New Zealand White male rabbits from April up to September 1996 at the BPT-HMT Bunikasih, Cianjur, and at the laboratory of PAU-IPB, Bogor. The method used in the research was experimentation using Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 22 kinds of treatment (Curcuma domestica, Curcuma xanthorrhiza, Curcuma aeroginosa and their combinations, and levels of ration containing Curcuma of 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 percent). Each treatment was repeated three times. Results showed that: Curcuma contained in the ration 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 percent did not raise ration consumption, growth of weight, and carcass percentage. Curcuma contained in the ration 1.0 and 1.5 percent increased the percentage of carcass fatty acid, especially Curcuma domestica. Curcuma contained in the ration 1.0 and 1.5 percent decreased percentage of carcass fat and blood cholesterol in New Zealand White Male Rabbit, especially Curcuma domestica
