Abstract
The poultry industry is encountering difficulties due to costly feeds brought
about by high cost of raw materials. One way of reducing the cost of feeds in broiler
production is substitute the existing commercial feed with the local feedstuff like canistel
fruit meal. Hence, this study was conducted to determine the performance of broilers fed
with canistel fruit meal at varying levels(10%, 20%, 30% BSC) as feed substitute. This
was conducted at Barangay Bacsayan, San Juan, La Union from October 31to
December 05, 2015. A total of 60 heads 14-day-old broiler chicks were distributed
randomly in four dietary treatments following the RCBD in three blocks.
Results revealed that birds fed with pure Broiler Starter Crumble performed
comparably with birds fed with 10% CFM + 90% BSC in terms of final weight, gain in
weight, feed conversion ratio and profit above feed, medicine and stock cost. Comparable
results on feed consumption was noted among the different dietary treatments.
