    Levels of cassava (Manihot esculenta linn.) leaf meal as feed substitute for broilers
    (Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - North La Union Campus, 2011-03) Valmonte, Jonar A.
    Poultry raisers look for different kinds of feed substitutes which are indigenous in the locality that will reduce the cost of commercial feeds in poultry ration. Hence, this study was conducted at Sapilang, Bacnotan, La Union from December 26, 2010 to February 7, 2011 to determine the effects of different level (5%, 10%, 15%) of cassava leaf meal as feed substitute on the performance of broilers and to determine the profit above feed, medicine and stock cost of broilers. Sixty, (21 day-old) broiler chicks were used in the study, following the Randomized Complete Block Design in three blocks. Result of the study revealed a comparable final weight, gain in weight, and feed conversion ratio of birds fed with 5% to 15% cassava leaf meal with birds fed with pure broiler starter mash. However the inclusion of cassava leaf meal in the commercial ration of broilers resulted to a decrease in feed consumption of the birds. Birds fed with 15% cassava leaf meal recorded the highest profit above feed, medicine and stock cost.
