dc.description.abstractDue to the high cost of feeds, many researchers are findings ways to bring down the cost of producing broilers through the use of local materials as feed extenders. Hence, this study was conducted to determine the influence of different levels of winged bean leaf meal (5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%) to broilers and to determine the profitability of feeding winged bean leaf meal. The study was conducted at Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University, North La Union Campus, Bacnotan, La Union from November 15, 2011 to December 20, 2011. Seventy five, (14 day old) chicks were used in the study employing the Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) in three blocks with five birds per replicate. The result of the study revealed that birds fed with different levels of winged bean leaf meal as feed extender had comparable performance with those birds fed with pure broiler starter mash in terms of final weight, gain in weight, feed conversion ratio and profit above feed, medicine, and stock cost. However, the inclusion of winged bean leaf meal in the ration of broilers significantly reduced the feed consumption.
