Cassava (Manihot esculenta Linn) leaf meal as feed extender for Broilers
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - North La Union Campus, 2016-03) Caalim, Joseph A.
Most poultry raisers nowadays look for different kinds of feed substitutes which are indigenous or are found in the locality to help lessen the cost of commercial feeds in poultry ration. Thus, this research aims primarily to determine the effects of different levels (15%, 20%, 25%) of Cassava leaf meal as feed substitute on the performance of broilers. Sixty 14 days old broiler chicks were distributed in four treatments in blocks following the Randomized Complete Block Design and was conducted at Bacqui, Bacnotan, La Union from May 10 2015 to June 13, 2015. Result of the study showed that the inclusion of cassava leaf meal as feed extender significantly affected the performance of broilers in terms of final weight, gain in weight, feed consumption and profit above feed, medicine, cassava meal and stock cost except the feed conversion ratio.
