Abstract
Due to the high cost of feeds today, researchers are finding ways on how to use possible feed supplements that may contribute to the viability of their use as bioenergy feedstock for broiler rations such as corn cob meal. This study was conducted to determine the performance of broilers as affected by fermented corn cob meal. It was conducted from October 22 to November 26, 2010 at Techno
Demonstration Farm, Bacnotan, La Union.
A total of seventy-five 14 day-old chicks were distributed at Random into five treatments employing the Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three blocks.
Results of the study showed insignificant differences in terms of initial weight, final weight, gain in weight, feed conversion ratio and mean profit above feed, medicine and stock cost, while it is highly significant in terms of feed consumption. Performance of birds fed with the 10% Unfermented and Fermented Corn Cob Meal from 7 to 21 days fermentation reduced the palatability of the feeds thus resulted to lower feed intake.
