Roasted acacia (Samanea saman l.) seed meal as feed extender for broilers
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - North La Union Campus, 2012-10) Segundo, Jay Ann C.
Due to the high cost of feeds today researchers are finding ways to source out alternative feed ingredients for broiler ration like acacia seed meal. Hence, this study was conducted to determine the performance of broilers fed with varying levels (3%, 6%, 9%) of roasted acacia seed meal as feed extender and to determine the best level that would produce the highest profit. This was conducted from November 15, 2011 to December 20, 2011 at Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University, North La Union Campus, Bacnotan, La Union. A total of sixty (14 day-old) broiler chick were distributed at random into four treatments employing the Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three blocks. Result of the study showed that the final weight, gain in weight, feed consumption and feed conversion ratio of birds fed with 3% to 6% roasted acacia seed meal were comparable to those birds fed with pure BSM, however, its significantly better than those birds fed with 9% roasted acacia seed meal. The profit above feed, medicine and stock cost were found comparable.
