Gibberellic acid for vigorous rambutan stock seedling production
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - North La Union Campus, 2010-03) Caagusan, Joey P.
Gibberellins are plant regulators which have been reported to stimulate and hasten stem elongation of crops. In rambutan the production of planting materials with longer stems are preferred. Thus, this study on Gibberellic acid (GA3) on rambutan stock seedling production was conducted to determine the best concentration (C1Control, C2–5 ppm GA3, C3–10 ppm GA3, C3–15 ppm GA3) on 240 pcs of stock seedlings employing the RCBD in four blocks. This was conducted at the nursery of the Agriculture Department, DMMMSU-NLUC, Bacnotan, La Union from December 15, 2009 to February 15, 2010.
The initial height, initial number of leaves, and girth size of rambutan seedlings were statistically comparable. The application of GA3 did not significantly influence the length of tap roots of rambutan seedlings at 60 DAP.
Results, further disclosed that 15 ppm GA3 induced the seedlings of rambutan to have the highest increment (20.08 cm), girth increment (3.77 mm), most numerous leaves (10.65) and secondary roots (11.25).
Sambong leaf meal as feed extender for broilers
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - North La Union Campus, 2010-03) Wanget, Marcelo T.
Researchers are looking for cheap feed ingredients for poultry to produce quality animals due to the high cost of feeds. This study was conducted to determine the performance of broilers fed with different levels of sambong leaf meal (6%, 9% and 12%) on September 8, 2009 to October 13, 2009. Sixty heads of two week-old broiler chicks (Cobb strain) were used in this study. The birds were distributed in four treatments in the three replication using the Completely Randomized Design.
Based on the result of the study, the 6% sambong leaf meal as feed extender was comparable to the commercial mash in terms of mean final weight, mean gain in weight and mean feed consumption but significantly different to birds fed 9% and 12% sambong leaf meal. However, birds fed with the varying
levels of sambong leaf meal had comparable final weight, gain in weight, feed consumption, feed conversion efficiency and profit above feed and stock cost.
Molasses fortified drinking water for broilers
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - North La Union Campus, 2010-03) Tabernero, Manny T.
The study was conducted to evaluate the performance of broilers supplemented with different levels of molasses (20 ml, 40 ml, and 60ml) on the drinking water. This was conducted at the Poultry Project of the Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University, North La Union Campus, Bacnotan, La Union from November 20, 2009 to December 24, 2009.
Using the Complete Randomized Design (CRD), a total of sixty day-old chicks were randomly distributed into four treatments with three (3) replications.
The result of the study revealed that birds supplemented with 20 ml to 40 ml of molasses on their drinking water were comparable to the birds without molasses on their drinking water in terms of final weight, gain in weight, feed consumption and feed conversion efficiency. The 40 ml to 60 ml of molasses per gallon of water resulted to increase the volume of water consumption of the birds. Moreover, a 60 ml molasses per gallon of water resulted to a decrease on the profit.
MLUCate: Mobile locator system for exploring Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University Mid La Union Campusgrmi
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University – Mid La Union Campus, 2015-10) Camba, Xaviery Kim M.; Balcita, Berlyn N.; Buccat, Ma. Neslyn L.
With the use of mobile technology mobile technologies can be configured to provide directions in a timely and orderly way. This method of providing directions made guidelines and instructions clearer for users. With the help of technology it is easy now to develop a mobile application that can be base for a simple map. The researchers developed the MLUCate: Mobile Locator System for Exploring Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University Mid La Union Campus. Specifically it addressed the following problems: (1) the features of the mobile locator system and what is the level of usability of the system. The study used the descriptive and applied types of research with documentary analysis and interview as the primary tool in data gathering and XP (Extreme Programming) for the design system. The respondents is composed of one (l)Planning Officer, one (1) MIS head, six(6) MIS facilitator and 52 visitors. It can be concluded in the study that the features of MLUCate addressed the requirements of the stakeholders and that the system can be used as per advise of the respondents.
Coconut meal as feed supplement for broiler (Cobb)
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - North La Union Campus, 2010-03) Salgado, Harvey V.
Coconut meal or sapal is considered as waste material but a potential feed resource for animals. This study aimed to determine the performance of 60 broilers fed with different levels (5% to 15%) of coconut meal as feed supplement. The birds were distributed in four treatments following the RCBD in
three blocks.
Results of the study revealed that birds fed with different levels of coconut meal showed comparable final weight, gain in weight and profit above feed, medicine and stock cost. However, broilers fed 5% level of coconut meal resulted to lower feed consumption and better feed efficiency.
