| dc.description.abstract | The poultry industry today is encountering difficulties due to costly feeds. One possible way of reducing feed cost is the use of kakawate leaf meal and rice middling as feed extender for broilers. Hence, this study was conducted to determine the performance of broilers fed with varying levels of kakawate leaf meal and rice middling and its combination as feed extender to commercial broiler starter crumble. Specifically, the study aimed to identify the best level of kakawate leaf meal and rice middling and its combination that is added to broiler starter crumble as feed extender; and to determine the profitability of using kakawate leaf meal and rice middling as feed extender for broiler ration This was conducted in Bacsayan, San Juan, La Union from December 2, 2016 to January 6, 2017. A total of ninety day-old chicks were used in the study. The birds were distributed into six treatments following the Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) in three blocks. Based on the results of the study, kakawate leaf meal and rice middling as feed extender in broiler ration had significantly affected the performance of broilers in terms of final weight, gain in weight, feed consumption, feed conversion ratio and profit. Birds fed with a diet containing 10% KLM + 90% BSC, 3% KLM + 7% RM + 90% BSC, 10% RM + 90% BSC and 7% KLM + 3% RM + 90% BSC had comparable performance in the control birds in terms of feed consumption. Birds fed with 3% KLM + 7% RM + 90% BSC, 5% KLM + 5% RM + 90% BSC and 10% RM + 90% BSC had comparable performance in the control birds in terms of feed conversion ratio and profit. Also broilers fed with 3% KLM + 7% RM + 90% BSC and 10% RM + 90% BSC had comparable performance in the control birds in terms of gain in weight. | |
