Abstract
The high cost of commercial feeds prompted poultry raisers to look for alternative sources of feed additive like ginger meal. The study was conducted to determine the growth performance of broilers fed with varying levels (5g, 10g, 15g and 20g) of ginger meal as feed additive and to determine the profit above feed, medicine and stock cost from December 03, 2011 to January 07, 2012 at Bacsil, Bacnotan, La Union. A total of 75, fourteen-day old broiler chicks were randomly distributed into five treatments, following the Randomized Completely Block Design (RCBD) in three blocks.
Base on the results of the study, the addition of ginger meal as feed additives from 5g to 20g + broiler starter mash significantly reduced the feed consumption, but improved the feed conversion ratio of birds. The addition of 10g ginger meal as feed additive to broiler starter mash for broilers significantly increased the profit above feed, medicine and stock cost.
