Pongapong (Amorphophallus campanulatus) tuber meal as feed extender for broilers
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - North La Union Campus, 2013-03) Gumabay, Omar B.
Due to high cost of feeds, many researchers are finding ways to bring down the cost of producing broiler through the use of locally available materials as feed extender. Hence, this study was conducted to determine the best level of pongapong tuber meal (5%, 10% 15% and 20%) as feed extender for broilers. This was conducted at the Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University, North La Union
Campus Bacnotan, La Union from October 6, 2012 to November 10, 2012. A total of 75 heads of 14-day-old broiler chicks were distributed at random in five treatments following the RCBD in three blocks.
Results revealed that the final weight and gain in weight of birds fed with 5% to 20% pongapong tuber meal were comparable to those birds fed with pure commercial mash however, the feed intake and feed conversion ratio were significantly affected. Moreover, as regards to the profit of birds fed with 5% to 20% pongapong tuber meal were comparable with each other but significantly higher than those birds fed with pure broiler starter mash.
Malungay (Moringa oleifera) leaf meal as feed supplement for broilers
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - North La Union Campus, 2013-03) Guinatang, Oliver L.
One way of reducing the cost of feed in broiler raising is supplementation using feed stuff like maluggay leaf meal. Reports disclosed that malunggay is rich in biologically useful nutrients. The study was conducted to determine the performance of broilers fed with different levels of malunggay leaf meal (5%, 10%, 15%) as feed supplement to broiler rations. It was conducted at Casiaman, Bacnotan, La Union from November 27, 2012 to December 31, 2012. Sixty (14 day-old) broiler chicks were randomly distributed into four treatments in RCBD with three blocks. Each treatment had 15 birds with five birds per replicate.
Based on the result of the study, the final weight, gain in weight, feed consumption, feed conversion ratio, and profit above feed, medicine and stock cost of birds fed with malunggay leaf meal as supplement to commercial starter mash were comparable to the birds fed with pure commercial feeds.
Development of vegetable hummingbird (Sesbania grandiflora) kropek
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University – Mid La Union Campus, 2025-11) Horca, Estefanie M.; Carig, Carlyn Jade B.; Ducusin, Arabella N.; Eugenio, Christian Lester B.; Jucar, Aisha Joy L.; Ramirez, Edren S.; Hufana, Zhelyn A.; Bayani, Keneth G.; Cacanindin, Geremy S.; Quinitip, Tiffany Ruth R.
This study focused on developing Vegetable Hummingbird (Sesbania grandiflora) Kropek, a healthy plant-based snack alternative. The objectives were to standardize the formulation and process, evaluate the sensory qualities, assess microbiological safety, determine physicochemical properties, measure consumer acceptability, estimate shelflife, compute production cost, and design a marketing plan. Using developmental, descriptive, experimental, and quantitative research designs, this study tested three formulations of Vegetable Hummingbird (Sesbania grandiflora) Kropek. Treatment 2 emerged as the most acceptable based on sensory evaluations, excelling in appearance, aroma, taste, and texture. Microbiological analysis confirmed safety, while physicochemical tests showed low moisture content (5.23%), indicating product stability. The kropek maintained quality for up to 42 days at room temperature and demonstrated high acceptability across age groups. Cost analysis revealed competitive pricing. A marketing plan emphasized health benefits, innovation, and affordability. The product proved safe, nutritious, and commercially viable.
Lactic acid bacteria serum-fermented yellow corn as feed supplement for crossbred pigs
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - North La Union Campus, 2013-03) Bangaoil, Mark Anthony D.
The use of probiotics is being promoted as of today to improve the digestibility of feeds. Hence, this study on the use of 2% Lactic Acid Bacteria Serum (LABS)-Fermented Yellow Corn as supplement to commercial feed was conducted from November 7, 2012 to January 7, 2013 at the Piggery Project of Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University, North La Union Campus, Bacnotan, La Union.
Twenty weanlings were used in the study. They were distributed into two treatments with ten replications following the lay-out for t-test. The data gathered were analyzed using t-test.
Result of the study revealed that the performance of the pigs given 2% Lactic Acid Bacteria Serum-fermented yellow corn as supplement performed comparably with the pigs fed with unfermented yellow corn supplemented to commercial feed in terms of final weight, average daily gain in weight, feed conversion ratio and profit above feed, medicine, stock, and lactic acid bacteria serum cost.
Ginger (Zingiber officinale) meal as feed additive for broilers
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - North La Union Campus, 2013-03) Almoite, Cris V.
The high cost of commercial feeds prompted poultry raisers to look for alternative sources of feed additive like ginger meal. The study was conducted to determine the growth performance of broilers fed with varying levels (5g, 10g, 15g and 20g) of ginger meal as feed additive and to determine the profit above feed, medicine and stock cost from December 03, 2011 to January 07, 2012 at Bacsil, Bacnotan, La Union. A total of 75, fourteen-day old broiler chicks were randomly distributed into five treatments, following the Randomized Completely Block Design (RCBD) in three blocks.
Base on the results of the study, the addition of ginger meal as feed additives from 5g to 20g + broiler starter mash significantly reduced the feed consumption, but improved the feed conversion ratio of birds. The addition of 10g ginger meal as feed additive to broiler starter mash for broilers significantly increased the profit above feed, medicine and stock cost.
