Malungay (Moringa oleifera) leaf meal as feed supplement for broilers
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - North La Union Campus, 2013-03) Guinatang, Oliver L.
One way of reducing the cost of feed in broiler raising is supplementation using feed stuff like maluggay leaf meal. Reports disclosed that malunggay is rich in biologically useful nutrients. The study was conducted to determine the performance of broilers fed with different levels of malunggay leaf meal (5%, 10%, 15%) as feed supplement to broiler rations. It was conducted at Casiaman, Bacnotan, La Union from November 27, 2012 to December 31, 2012. Sixty (14 day-old) broiler chicks were randomly distributed into four treatments in RCBD with three blocks. Each treatment had 15 birds with five birds per replicate. Based on the result of the study, the final weight, gain in weight, feed consumption, feed conversion ratio, and profit above feed, medicine and stock cost of birds fed with malunggay leaf meal as supplement to commercial starter mash were comparable to the birds fed with pure commercial feeds.
