Magelang ducks are one of the superior dual-purpose livestock from Central Java. However, Magelang duck's duck meat has a weakness which is contains higher choletserol than chicken meat. Jengkol peel is one of the waste that can be used to reduce cholesterol in Magelang ducks because for its high crude fiber (33.07-35.28%) and saponins (17.91-35.13%) content. Furthermore the availability of jengkol peel waste also high (7.566 tons). This article aimed to review the potential of jengkol peel as cholesterol reducing agent of magelang duck's meat. The writing method used in this article is literature study. Several researches have shown that the use of crude fiber and saponins in rations can reduce sholesterol in duck or chicken meat. Crude fiber can reduce fat absorbtion so the deposition of fat into the body can be suppressed. Saponins can increase the binding of the feed cholesterol which will be excreted through excreta directly. The conclusion is jengkol peel waste has potential to be used as Magelang duck feed which has beneficial of reducing cholesterol meat and produces a healthy meat for consumer. The utilization of this waste can increase the value of jengkol peel than before becausse it was just thorwn away and polluting the environment. Jengkol peel as feed can be given in powder or extract form.
