Labs fermented ground Corn and Ipil-ipil leaf meal as feed extender for broilers
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - North La Union Campus, 2014-03) Oriell, Melecio O.
Due to high cost of feeds, this study was conducted to determine the performance of broiler fed with pure broiler starter mash against those fed with LABS fermented ration (15% ground corn, 15% Ipil-ipil, 10% ground corn + 5% Ipil-ipil, 7.5% ground corn + 7.5% Ipil-ipil and 5% ground corn + 10% Ipil-ipil) as feed extender for broilers. This was conducted at Barangay Casiaman, Bacnotan, La Union from November 13 to December 17, 2013. A total of 90 heads 14-day-old broiler chicks were distributed randomly in six treatments following the RCBD in three blocks. Results revealed that the final weight and gain in weight of birds fed with 15% ground corn and 10% ground corn + 5% ipil-ipil performed comparably with the birds in the control ration. However the birds fed with 10% ground corn + 5% ipil-ipil (T3), 15% corn (T1) and 5% ground corn + 10% ipil-ipil (T5) performed comparably to the control ration in terms of feed conversion ratio and mean profit above feed, medicine and stock cost.
