Root crops as feed extender for broilers
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - North La Union Campus, 2015-03) Gadoy, Donald S.
The high cost of commercial feeds prompted poultry raisers to look for alternative sources of feed such as sweet potato, taro and cassava. Hence, this study was conducted to determine the performance of broilers fed with root crops from November 25, 2014 to December 18, 2014 in Arosip, Bacnotan, La Union. A total of 60, fourteen day old broiler chicks were randomly distributed into four treatments with three blocks following the Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD).
The result of the study showed that the final weight, gain in weight, and profit above feed , medicine and stock cost of birds fed with 20% sweet potato meal and 20% cassava meal were comparable to birds fed with pure broiler starter crumble.

(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University – Mid La Union Campus, 2024-05) Abellera, John Joshua B.; Alvarado, Lea Mae E.; Dela Cruz, Trisha Lei B.; Ganuelas, Roan Mae N.; Gaudia, Melanie N.
Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) have become instruments in the promotion of sustainable development goals, ensuring the economic growth and development of micro-entrepreneurs worldwide. The study was conducted to describe the micro-entrepreneurs’ loan terms, portfolio quality of microfinance institutions, and the relationship between the micro-entrepreneurs' loan terms and portfolio quality of the microfinance institutions in the City of San Fernando, La Union. The study adopted a cross-sectional survey and correlational research design, and the data were gathered from 17-microfinance institutions using a validated questionnaire and were analyzed using frequency counts, percentage, Spearman’s Rho, and Point-Biserial Correlation. Findings revealed that the respondents MFIs offered flexible loan terms to micro-entrepreneurs and have a deteriorating portfolio quality with high levels of portfolio at risk ratio and write-off ratio. Further, the findings revealed that the loan amount and penalties under micro-entrepreneurs’ loan terms have a significant relationship with portfolio quality in terms of write-off ratio.
Labs fermented Cassava tuber meal (Manihot esculenta) as feed extender for broilers
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - North La Union Campus, 2015-03) Flores, Mary Grace Z.
Due to high cost of feeds, this study was conducted to determine the performance of broilers fed with pure broiler starter mash against those fed with LABS fermented ration (10% Fermented Cassava Tuber Meal, 20% Fermented Cassava Tuber Meal and 30% Fermented Cassava Tuber Meal) as feed extender. This was conducted at Barangay Amontoc, San Gabriel, La Union from November 6 to December 10, 2014. A total of 60 heads 14-day-old broiler chicks were distributed randomly in four treatments following the RCBD in three blocks.
Results revealed that the final weight, gain in weight and feed consumption of birds fed with 10% up to 30% LABS fermented cassava tuber meal (FCTM) were comparable with the birds in the control ration. Birds fed with 20% up to 30% LABS (FCTM) registered comparable profit but significantly higher than the birds given with 10% LABS (FCTM) and birds in the control ration.
Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis) extract as supplement in the drinking water for broilers
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - North La Union Campus, 2015) Castro, Emily Marie B.
High cost of feeds is the major problem encountered by poultry raisers. Hence, This study was conducted to determine the Aloe vera extract as Supplement in the drinking water for broiler . This was conducted at Poultry Project of DMMMSU- NLUC, Sapilang, Bacnotan, La Union from November 14 to December 19,2014. A total of 75 heads 14-day-old broiler chicks were distributed randomly in five treatments following the RCBD in tree blocks.
Result revealed that birds given 10 to 20 ml Aloe Vera extract in drinking water performed comparably with the birds given antibiotics in terms of final weight, gain in weight, feed conversion ratio and profit above feed, medicine and stock cost.
Labs fermented Trichantera leaf meal as feed substitute for broilers
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - North La Union Campus, 2015-03) Cariaso, Leny Grace D.
More than 70% of total expenses incurred in broiler production is attributed to feed cost and with the ever increasing price of feeds it is emperative to explore the potentials of locally and abundant feed substitute in order to lessen the cost of feeds. One amongst the most common and abundantly available is Trichantera gigantea which was used at 5%, 10% and 15% substitutes to commercial feeds. The study was conducted at Barangay Casiaman, Bacnotan, La Union from October 20 to November 24, 2014. A total of 60 heads 14-day-old broiler chicks were distributed randomly in four treatments following the RCBD in three blocks.
Results revealed that at 5 to 15% substitution, the different parameters (final weight, gain in weight, feed consumption, feed conversion ratio profit above feed, medicine and stock cost and cost of feed to produce a kilogram gain) were comparable with those fed with commercial feeds .
