Coconut meal as feed supplement for broiler (Cobb)
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - North La Union Campus, 2010-03) Salgado, Harvey V.
Coconut meal or sapal is considered as waste material but a potential feed resource for animals. This study aimed to determine the performance of 60 broilers fed with different levels (5% to 15%) of coconut meal as feed supplement. The birds were distributed in four treatments following the RCBD in three blocks. Results of the study revealed that birds fed with different levels of coconut meal showed comparable final weight, gain in weight and profit above feed, medicine and stock cost. However, broilers fed 5% level of coconut meal resulted to lower feed consumption and better feed efficiency.
