dc.description.abstractSeventy percent of the cost of producing egg is attributed to the cost of commercial feeds. Therefore, there is a dire need to explore possibilities of bringing down such cost and one such possibility is through the used of locally available materials like mulberry. Hence, this study was conducted to determine the best level (5%, 10%, and 15%) of mulberry leaf meal mixed with commercial laying mash for chicken layers employing RCBD in three blocks. This study was conducted at the poultry project of the Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University, North La Union Campus, Sapilang, Bacnotan, La Union from August 01 to October 31, 2011. Results revealed that the experimental birds in the different treatments performed comparably in terms of initial weight, final weight, feed consumption, average number of eggs produced, weight of eggs, average hen-day egg production and cost of feeds to produce a dozen eggs. Birds fed rations with 5% mulberry leaf meal had comparable average hen-housed egg production with those birds fed with pure commercial ration.
