Different levels of sundried azolla (Azolla pinnata) as feed supplement for Broilers
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University-North La Union Campus, 2022-05) Hernaez, Reginald Victor H.
The high cost of feeds is the most important problem confronting broiler production; hence, the need to explore alternative source of feed ingredients such as Azolla meal. This study was conducted at Lubong, Santa Lucia, Ilocos Sur from March 5, 2021 to April 8, 2021 to determine the performance of broilers fed with Sundried Azolla meal; specifically, to determine the best level of (10%,15%,20%, and 25%) Sundried Azolla meal that could be used as feed supplement. A total of seventy-five heads of 14 days old of broiler chicks were randomly distributed into 5 treatments, following the three replications. The result of the study discloses that dressing percentage, liver weight, and gizzard weight were not significantly influenced by the different levels of Sundried Azolla meal as feed supplement. However, a significant result was noted on the final weight, gain weight, feed consumption, feed conversion ratio, feed conversion efficiency, and profit above feed, medicine, and stock cost of the birds.
