Lactic acid bacteria serum fermented Banana plant juice as water supplement for broiler
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - North La Union Campus, 2015-03) Ramos, Eric Glen B.
The high cost of commercial antibiotics prompted poultry raisers to look for alternatives sources of water supplement such as Lactic Acid Bacteria Serum Fermented Banana Plant Juice. Hence, this study was conducted to determine the performance of broiler given Lactic Acid Fermented Banana Plant Juice as water supplement from November 14, 2014 to December 19, 2014 at the Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University North La Union Campus Bacnotan, La Union. A total of 75 day old broiler chicks were randomly distributed into five treatments,(T0-pure water, T1-commercial antibiotic,T2-10%LABS Fermented Plant Juice,T3-20% Fermented Plant JuiceT4-30% Fermented Plant Juice) following the (RCBD) in three blocks.
Based on the result of the study, the final weight, gain in weight, feed conversion ratio, and profit above feed medicine LABS Fermented Banana Plant Juice and stock cost of birds supplemented with LABS Fermented Plant Juice were comparable but significantly higher in feed consumption than the birds without LABS Fermented Plant Juice as water supplement.
Fermented Gumamela leaf meal as feed extender for broilers
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - North La Union Campus, 2015-03) Pilingen, Ralftom L.
Due to high cost of commercial feeds, this study was conducted to determine the performance of broiler fed with pure broiler starter mash against those fed with fermented gumamela ration (5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%) as feed extender. This was conducted at Barangay Poblacion, San Gabriel, La Union from November 16 to December 21, 2014. A total of 75 heads 14-day-old broiler chicks were distributed randomly in five treatments following the RCBD in three blocks.
Results revealed that the final weight, gain in weight, feed conversion ratio, and profit above feed, medicine and stocks of birds fed with 5% to 10% fermented gumamela leaf meal performed comparably with the birds in the control ration. However the birds fed with 5% to 20% fermented gumamela leaf meal had insignificantly higher feed consumption than those feed with control ration.

Seaweed meal and Ipil-ipil leaf meal as feed extender for broiler
(2015-03) Ocampo, Armando B.
The high cost of commercial feeds prompted poultry raisers to look for the alternative source of feed ingredients such as seaweed meal and ipil-ipil leaf meal. The study was conducted to determine the performance of broilers fed with seaweed meal and ipil-ipil leaf meal from October 25, 2014 to November 29, 2014 at Barangay Bungol, Balaoan, La Union. A total of 105 14-day old broiler chicks were randomly distributed into seven treatments, following the Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) in three blocks.
The result of the study showed that the performance of birds fed with 5% seaweed meal, 5% ipil-ipil leaf meal and 2.5% seaweed meal + 2.5% ipil-ipil leaf meal were comparable to those fed with pure broiler starter mash in terms in final weight, gain in weight, feed consumption, feed conversion ratio and profit above feed medicine and stock cost.
Purslane (Portulaca oleracea) meal as feed extender for broiler
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - North La Union Campus, 2015-03) Nullar, Julius M.
The hight cost of feeds have prompted poultry raisers to look for cheaper but highly nutritive source as feed extender. Hence,This study was conducted to determine the performance of broilers fed with different levels of dried purslane meal as feed extender. It was conducted at the backyard of Starshine Boarding House Barangay Casiaman, Bacnotan, La Union from December 2014 to January 2015.
Using Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD), sixty (60) 14-days old chicks were randomly distributed in to four treatments replicated three times.
The result of the study revealed that the final weight, gain in weight and profit above feed and medicine cost of birds fed with 20% and 30% purslane meal were comparable to birds fed with pure broiler starter mash. However, birds fed with 40% purslane had significantly lower final weight, gain in weight and profit above feed, medicine and stock cost. On the other hand, feed consumption and feed conversion ratio, revealed an insignificant result.
