Quality of nuggets from meat of spent layer and broiler chickens
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - North La Union Campus, 2008-03) Oliveros, Ishraele T.
Spent hens have lower body weights and have little monetary value as a food product and have lower sensory quality, hence the need to explore its utilization for processing. This study was conducted to determine the quality of nuggets from spent layer and broiler chicken meat. This was conducted at the
laboratory of Animal Science of the Agriculture Department DMMMSU-NLUC, Bacnotan, La Union. The processed chicken nuggets were evaluated by 10 male college students, 10 female college students, 10 male high school students, 10 female high school students and 10 faculty members employing the Hedonic scale.
Findings showed that the quality of spent layer and broiler chicken meat were comparable to commercial chicken nuggets in terms of appearance, flavor, palatability, juiciness, tenderness and general acceptability. Using spent layer chicken meat for nuggets resulted to higher yield of 1.27 kg finished product per kilogram of meat, lower production cost per kilogram (P137.39), and higher
profit.
Quality of sausage as affected by varying ration of pork and mutton
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - North La Union Campus, 2008-03) Nevado, Jenny Lee L.
Sheep production in the region is becoming popular, however, mutton is not very well accepted as meat. It is therefore necessary to evaluate its uses for sausage making. This study was conducted to determine the quality of sausage as affected by ratio of pork to mutton (25:75, 50:50, 75:25) and to determine the cost of processing a kilogram of sausage using pork and mutton. The product was evaluated by 30 members of the taste panel and rated its quality based on the hedonic scale. It was conducted at the Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University, North La Union Campus, Bacnotan, La Union from January 22-24, 2008.
Results revealed that the varying ratio of pork and mutton did not vary significantly in terms of flavor, palatability, texture and general acceptability. However, commercial sausages obtained higher mean scores in terms of appearance and juiciness as compared to other sausages made of pork and mutton at different ratios. The cost of producing a kilogram of sausage from pork and mutton at different ratios is higher as compared to the prevailing selling price of commercial sausages.
Development and evaluation of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) peel laundry starch
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - Mid La Union Campus, 2023-05) Hidalgo, Jan Russ Jeuns D.; Javier, Jasmine Nicole P.; Lorenzo, Josephine N.; Tatunay, Jove Ann M.; Nonan, Reicheleiu M.; Tatunay, Vernalyn M.
Starch makes clothes stiff by adding hold to clothing, creating a crisp, professional finish. Starch adds crispness and structure, providing body to cotton and linen. The study aimed to develop a laundry starch using Sweet Potato Peel, determine the volume of starch; determine the moisture content of the starch; determine the physical properties; determine the acceptability of sweet potato peel; determine the significant difference in terms of shininess and smoothness. The developmental-experimental-evaluative research design was used to determine the physical properties of sweet potato peel as laundry starch and was evaluated in terms of shininess and smoothness. With a 7.5 % starch recovery, the moisture content of the laundry starch is low, the tensile strength of cotton and linen fabrics becomes strong, spray laundry starch from sweet potato peel in terms of tensile strength and stiffness is acceptable, and there is a significant difference in terms of shininess and smoothness.
Survey of management practices of semi-commercial scale swine raisers in the first district of La Union (4th Quarter 2007)
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - North La Union Campus, 2008-03) Mendoza, Dule Amor O.
Efficient management practices are pre-requisite to profitability and success of a farm enterprise. It is therefore important to document the management practices of semicommercial scale swine raisers in La Union. Sixteen semi-commercial swine raisers from eight municipalities of the first district of La Union were selected as respondents. Data was gathered using a structured questionnaire supplemented with a personal interview.
Results of the study revealed that majority of the respondents observed proper management practices. The identified major production problems were occurrence of disease and parasites especially scouring and pneumonia.
However, the respondents needs training and seminars on artificial insemination and know the importance of milk replacer on swine production.
Inclusive leadership:
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - Mid La Union Campus, 2024-12) Chuck, Lj Yvhonne B.; Aspiras, Ma. Cristina A.; Babol, Jessie V.; Boado, Antonio Miguel F.; Leonen, Jilliane Kae L.; Thalla, Ginalyn T.; Gadaza, Aniza C.; Hufalar, Lester Wilson M.; Siong, Venus D.; Ramirez, Elizabeth C.
This study, Inclusive Leadership: Gay Student Governance in DMMMSU, is geared towards discovering the various experiences of Gay Student Leaders. Despite increasing inclusivity in many educational institutions, the role of gay individuals in student governance remains underexplored. Using a quantitative research design with total enumeration sampling, the researchers administered a validated survey questionnaire to 52 gay student leaders across the three DMMMSU campuses. The study aimed to assess their demographic profile, level of agreeability to various leadership styles, extent of involvement and influence, and the challenges and opportunities they face. Findings reveal that most GSLs favored democratic and transformational leadership styles, aligning with values of collaboration, inclusivity, and advocacy. The study also identified that while GSLs demonstrated strong involvement and influence within their student organizations, they encountered barriers such asstereotypes and prejudices. Nevertheless, they exhibitedresilience, innovation, and a deep commitment to inclusive leadership. As a result, the study proposed a policy recommendation to enhance leadership opportunities and institutional support for GSLs. These findings contribute to the broader discourse on gender, leadership, and representation in student governance and advocate for creating safer and more inclusive academic environments.
