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.
