(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - North La Union Campus, 2016-03) Galate, Mary Joy P.
Due to the high cost of feed today, researcher are finding ways on how to use potential feed supplements that may contribute to the viability as bio energy feedstock for broiler ration such as duhat leaf meal. This study was conducted at Brgy. Say-oan, Bacnotan, La Union. From November 14, 2015 to December 19, 2015 to determine the performance of broilers fed with different levels (2%, 4%, 6%) of duhat leaf meal as feed extender. Using the Randomized Block Designed (RCBD) a total of sixty (14-day old) broiler chicks were distributed at random into four different treatment replicated three times with five birds per replicate. Based on the results of the study revealed that birds fed with ration containing 2% to 6% Duhat leaf meal were comparable to the birds fed with the control ration in terms of final weight, gain in weight, and feed conversion ratio. Significant difference among treatment means was noted on the feed consumption and profit above feed, medicine and stock cost of birds.
