Abstract
One possible way to reducing cost of production is the use of Cassava and Mulberry Leaf Meal as feed substitute for broilers. This study was conducted to determine the performance of broilers fed with cassava and mulberry leaf meal as feed substitute for broilers. This was conducted at Barangay Sapilang, Bacnotan, La Union from December 3, 2014 to January 7, 2015. A total of 60 heads of 14 day old broiler chicks were distributed randomly in four treatments following the RCBD in three blocks. Based on the results, birds fed with a diet containing 2.5% CLM, 2.5% MLM obtained the highest final weight (1.78 kg) and profit above feed, medicine and stock cost (P 67.15). There were no significant differences among treatments in terms of gain in weight, feed consumption and feed conversion ratio.
