The research aims to determine the carcass and body fat composition of Joper chickens fed chicken feed with different energy and protein content in tropical lowland areas. The experiment used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four treatments and six replications, each experimental unit consisting of 5 Joper chickens. The treatments in this experiment were: Joper chickens which were fed with a metabolizable energy (ME) content of 2700 kcal/kg and crude protein (CP) 14% (A), ME 2800 kcal/kg and CP 15% (B), ME 2900 kcal /kg and CP16% (C), ME 3000 kcal/kg and CP 17% (D). The results of the research showed that the slaughter weight and carcass weight of Joper chickens treated with feed C were the highest, not significantly different (P>0.05) from those treated with feed D, but those treated with feed B and A were significantly (P<0.05) lower than feed C. Commercial carcass cuts and carcass physical composition were not significantly different (P>0.05) between treatments A, B, C, and D. Fad fat and gizzard fat, mesenteric fat, and abdominal fat were lowest in feed treatment A. Feed treatments B, C, and D were significantly higher (P<0.05) than feed treatment A. It can be concluded that Joper chickens were fed with an energy content of 2900 kcal/kg crude protein 16% (C), ME 3000 kcal/kg and crude protein 17% (D) higher than fed with an energy content of 2700 kcal/kg and crude protein (CP) 14% (A), energy 2800 kcal/kg and crude protein 15% (B). Feed treatment A produced the lowest body fat composition, which was significantly different (P<0.05) compared to treatments B, C, and D.
