Abstract
According to the Department of Agriculture, our country is still importing poultry
meat to fill up the demand due to fluctuating or inadequate supply. The inadequate
supply could be attributed to low feed conversion ratio because of inferior quality of
feeds. One way of reducing the cost of broiler production is by employing new way of
technology. Hence, this study was conducted to determine the performance of broilers
using wet feeds with different natural supplements (Water, Indigenous Microorganism,
Lactic Acid Bacteria Serum, Sargassum Tea, and Coconut Water). This was conducted at
Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University-North La Union Campus, Sapilang,
Bacnotan, La Union from October 31 2015 to December 05, 2015. A total of 90 heads
14-day-old broiler chicks were distributed randomly in six dietary treatments following
the RCBD in three blocks.
Results revealed that birds fed with feeds wet with water performed comparably
with those feeds wet with indigenous microorganism, sargassum tea and coconut water in
terms of final weight, gain in weight, feed consumption, feed conversion ratio, cost of
feeds to produce a kilogram gain, dressing and leaf fat %. However, significant
difference was noted on the profit above feed, medicine and stock cost.
