Silkworm pupae meal as feed extender for growing Sasso chicken
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - North La Union Campus, 2012-10) Borje, Khatty A.
Previous researches disclosed that the use of silkworm pupae resulted to increased feed consumption of ‘Cobb’ broilers. Hence, this study was conducted to determine the performance of sasso fed with 5% silkworm pupae meal as feed extender, in terms of final weight, gain in weight, feed consumption, feed conversion ratio and profit above feed medicine and stock cost. This study was conducted at the Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University North La Union Campus, Bacnotan, La Union from December 13, 2011 to February 20, 2012.
Results revealed that 5% silkworm pupae meal as feed substitute can replace the commercial mash as reflected in the insignificant effect of silkworm pupae meal on the performance of growing sasso in terms in final weight, gain in weight, feed consumption, feed conversion ratio and profit above feed medicine and stock cost.
Varying levels of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor l.) grain meal as feed extender for broilers
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - North La Union Campus, 2012-10) Biscarra, Diana O.
Sorghum grains are potential as feed extender for broilers for it contains 11.30% protein. Hence, this study on different levels of sorghum grain meal (5%, 10% and 15%) as feed extender for broiler was conducted to determine the performance of broilers fed with different levels of sorghum grain meal. This was conducted from November 19, 2011 to December 24, 2011 at Don Mariano Marcos
Memorial State University, North La Union Campus, Bacnotan, La Union. Sixty, two-week-old broiler chicks were randomly distributed into four treatments in three blocks following the RCBD.
Based on the result of the study, broilers fed with different levels from 5% to 15% of sorghum grain meal as feed extender performed comparably with those fed with pure broiler starter mash in terms of final weight, gain in weight, feed consumption, feed conversion ratio and profit above feed, medicine and stock cost.
Mulberry leaf meal as feed substitute for layers
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - North La Union Campus, 2012-03) Badao, Maybelyn P.
Seventy percent of the cost of producing egg is attributed to the cost of commercial feeds. Therefore, there is a dire need to explore possibilities of bringing down such cost and one such possibility is through the used of locally available materials like mulberry. Hence, this study was conducted to determine the best level (5%, 10%, and 15%) of mulberry leaf meal mixed with commercial laying mash for chicken layers employing RCBD in three blocks. This study was conducted at the poultry project of the Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University, North La Union Campus, Sapilang,
Bacnotan, La Union from August 01 to October 31, 2011.
Results revealed that the experimental birds in the different treatments performed comparably in terms of initial weight, final weight, feed consumption, average number of eggs produced, weight of eggs, average hen-day egg production and cost of feeds to produce a dozen eggs. Birds fed rations with 5% mulberry leaf meal had comparable average hen-housed egg production with those birds fed with pure commercial ration.
Ipil-ipil leaf meal (Leucaena leucocephala) for growing-finishing pigs
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - North La Union Campus, 2012) Bacnis, Jurlybell J.
Ipil-ipil is a leguminous plant which is rich in food nutrients, and a potential
feed substitute for swine. This study was conducted to determine the performance of growing-finishing pigs fed with T1 - pure commercial feeds (control); and T2 - 94% commercial feeds + 6% Ipil-ipil leaf meal as feed substitute. This was conducted at the Piggery Project of Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University, North La Union Campus, Bacnotan, and La Union from October 4, 2011 to January 4, 2012. Twelve pigs were distributed into two treatments with six pigs per treatment.
The result of the study showed that ipil-ipil leaf meal as feed substitute for
pigs did not cause any significant variation in terms of final weight, gain in weight, Average Daily Gain (ADG), Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) and profit above feed, medicine, stock and feed cost.
Sunflower (Helianthus annus) seed meal as feed extender for broilers
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - North La Union Campus, 2012-03) Andaya, Rimalyn M.
Due to costly feeds brought about by imported raw materials, poultry raises are exploring available alternative sources of feedstuff, hence this study on the different levels of sunflower seed meal (3%, 6%, and 9%) as feed extender in broiler ration was conducted to determine the performance of broilers from November 8, 2011 to December 20, 2011 at Bacnotan, La Union. Sixty (14-day-old) broiler chicks were used in the study employing the Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three blocks.
The results of the study revealed that birds fed with different levels of
sunflower seed meal showed comparable performance with the birds fed with pure broiler starter mash in terms of final weight, gain in weight, feed conversion ratio and profit above feed, medicine and stock cost of the birds. However, the feed consumption was significantly reduced when the level of sunflower meal was increased from 6% to 9%.
