Tobacco seed as feed extender for broilers
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - North La Union Campus, 2009-03) Claro, Jay-ar A.
Tabacco seed is a potential source of feed for broiler as feed extender for it contains 20 to 40 % protein. This study was conducted to determine the performance of broilers fed with varying levels of tobacco seed (5%, 10% and 15%) as feed extender. This was conducted at the Poultry Project of the Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University, North La Union Campus, College of Agriculture, Bacnotan, La Union from November 22, 2008 to December 13, 2008. A total of 36 heads of 14 days old broilers was used in the study. The chicks were distributed at random into the four treatments following the Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with 3 replications. Based on the result of the study, broilers fed with varying levels of tobacco seed as feed extender comparably performed with those fed with pure broiler starter mash in terms of final weight, gain in weight, feed consumption, feed conversion efficiency and profit above feed, medicine, and stock cost.
