Response of Broilers on wet feeds using various natural supplements
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - North La Union Campus, 2016-03) Omo, John Genesson C.
According to the Department of Agriculture, our country is still importing poultry meat to fill up the demand due to fluctuating or inadequate supply. The inadequate supply could be attributed to low feed conversion ratio because of inferior quality of feeds. One way of reducing the cost of broiler production is by employing new way of technology. Hence, this study was conducted to determine the performance of broilers using wet feeds with different natural supplements (Water, Indigenous Microorganism, Lactic Acid Bacteria Serum, Sargassum Tea, and Coconut Water). This was conducted at Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University-North La Union Campus, Sapilang, Bacnotan, La Union from October 31 2015 to December 05, 2015. A total of 90 heads 14-day-old broiler chicks were distributed randomly in six dietary treatments following the RCBD in three blocks. Results revealed that birds fed with feeds wet with water performed comparably with those feeds wet with indigenous microorganism, sargassum tea and coconut water in terms of final weight, gain in weight, feed consumption, feed conversion ratio, cost of feeds to produce a kilogram gain, dressing and leaf fat %. However, significant difference was noted on the profit above feed, medicine and stock cost.
