Research on the influence of high elevation on performance and faali status of broiler strain Hubbard was been carried out for 5 weeks. The research was conducted in two different places: one in high places area with 900m above sea levels (SoE district) the other one in 50m above sea levels (Kupang district). The aim of the research was determine the influence of different high places above sea levels which have different temperature performance, feed consumption, feed conversion, carcass percentage, respiration rate, body temperature, erythrocyte content and hemoglobin of broiler chicken. Unsexed 3 day old broiler chicks of Hubbard strain were used in two different experimental location of 40 each. The birds were given commercial broiler diet (BR1) and kept in deep litter of a small poultry house (4x1 m). Diet and water adlibitum was provided throughout the experiment. Data analysis was T-student by Nasir (1983). The average temperature and relative humidity were 20.75 deg C and 71.96% in high place SoE area and 29.29 deg C and 76.93% in high place Kupang area, respectively. The result showed that the influence of high places in SoE area gave highest performance, frequency respiration rate and carcass percentage is significantly affected, but there is no significant difference in faali status body temperature erythrocyte content, hemoglobin of broiler chickens compare with Kupang district about 50m above sea level.
