The goal of this investigation was to check a diet enriched with butterfly pea flower (Clitoria ternatea L.) flour on the relative weight and length of the tracts of poultry digestive system. The study employed a Completely Randomized Design (CRD), consisting five dietary treatments with five replications. Each replication used four-day old chicks (CP707 strain). The treatments were as follows: P0 (basal diet without butterfly pea flower flour), P1 (basal diet + 1% butterfly pea flower flour), P2 (basal diet + 2% butterfly pea flower flour), P3 (diet + 3% butterfly pea flower flour), and P4 (diet + 4% butterfly pea flower flour). Various parts of the digestive system such as the crop, proventriculus, gizzard, small intestine (duodenum, jejunum, ileum), cecum, and colon were used for experiments. The finding discovered that feeding butterfly pea flower meal in the diet had significantly impact (P<0.05) on the relative weight of duodenum, but it did not significantly affect (P>0.05) the relative weight of crop, proventriculus, gizzard, length of duodenum, relative weight and length of jejunum, ileum, cecum, and colon. To conclude, the use of butterfly pea flower flour in the diet can enhance duodenal function without any negative effects on the relative weight of the crop, proventriculus, and gizzard, or the length of the duodenum.
