dc.description.abstractFeed is the most expensive component of poultry production, accounting for up to 70% of total feed costs and the most important component of poultry diets is energy, followed by plant and animal protein sources. Maggots or larvae are one insect that fits the requirements for usage as an alternate protein source of feed. Maggot protein is less expensive, have a high feed conversion efficiency and can be kept and mass-produced. Thus, it is an ideal element in poultry feed. This study was conducted the performance of broilers fed with pure broiler commercial feed against those fed with varying amounts of maggot meal (10%, 15%, and 20%) from March 29, 2022, to April 2, 2022, at Paagan, Bacnotan, La Union. A total of 100 day old chicks were randomly distributer into four treatments, following the Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) in five blocks of twenty-five birds per treatment. Results of the study showed that the birds fed with 10% to 20% of maggot meal performed comparably with the birds fed with pure commercial feeds in terms of initial weight, final weight, gain in weight, average daily gain, feed consumption, liver weight, dressing percentage, and profit above the feed, medicine, stock cost of birds. However, significant differences were observed in the mean first week weight and feed conversation ratio of birds fed with (0%, 10% 15% and 20%) levels of maggot meal.
