Exploring ICT competencies and innovation readiness of school librarians:
(International Research and Innovation Journal on Education, Engineering and Agriculture, 2025-06) Reyes, Alma F.; Siago, Sonia B.
The important and dynamic role of school librarians, especially with the rise of digital technology requires that they continually excel in competencies in both library and information sciences. This descriptive-correlational study assessed the ICT competencies of school librarians in the 1st District of Pangasinan using the National Competency-Based Standards for Filipino Librarians. It focused on core areas such as email, hardware, internet, operating systems, software applications, web tools, and the application of information technologies. The study also examined the challenges librarians face in applying these skills and the relationship between their competence levels and the difficulty of these challenges. Findings revealed that librarians showed high competence, especially in email and operating systems, while challenges were generally rated as slightly difficult. Statistical analysis indicated no significant relationship between ICT competence and the degree of difficulty, suggesting that higher skill levels do not necessarily equate to fewer challenges. As a result, a Strategic ICT Capacity Enhancement Plan was developed to further improve competencies and address the difficulties school librarians encounter in applying ICT skills.

Kinds of litter materials at brooding on the performance of broilers (Cobb strain)
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University- North La Union Campus, 2008-03) Madriaga, Neil Brian F.
Brooding materials play a significant role in successful broiler production for maintaining the optimum requirement for temperature and humidity. Hence, this study was conducted to determine the effect of using different kinds of litter materials (rice hull, newspaper, peanut hull, sawdust, jute sacks and corn cob) on the performance of 90 heads of day-old broiler chicks employing the randomized complete block design in three blocks, at the Poultry project of Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University, North La Union Campus, Bacnotan, La Union from October 4 to November 10, 2007. Results revealed that using different kinds of litter materials did not cause any significant variation on the performance of broilers in terms of weight after brooding, gain in weight, feed consumption, feed conversion efficiency and profit above feed, medicine, stock and cost of litter materials. However, using jute sack, ground corn cob, wood shavings and ground peanut hull as litter materials at brooding period resulted to heavier final weight.

Golden snail meal as feeds for broilers
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University- North La Union Campus, 2008-03) Lozano, Prescila L.
Golden snail is a menace in rice fields. Based on proximate analysis conducted by various researchers, the nutrient composition reveals that it could be a source of nutrients for broiler rations. Hence, this study was conducted to determine the performance of 60 heads day-old broiler chicks, following the Completely Randomized Design (CRD) distributed at random in four treatments replicated three times. The treatments used were the following: Commercial Mash (T1), 0% Golden Snail Meal in Formulated Ration (T2), 3% Golden Snail Meal in Formulated Ration (T3) and 6% GSM in Formulated Ration (T4). Results of the study revealed that birds fed with commercial mash, 0% and 3% golden snail meal in formulated rations had comparable final weight, gain in weight, feed consumption, feed conversion efficiency and feed cost to produce a kilogram gain in weight. Birds given rations with 6% golden snail meal obtained the lowest feed cost to produce a kilogram gain in weight. On the other hand, birds fed formulated ration without golden snail meal obtained the lowest profit above feed, and stock cost.

Ground yellow corn as feed extender for broilers (Bounty strain)
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University- North La Union Campus, 2008-10) Libunao, Rommel D.
Growing of yellow corn in Region 1 is gaining popularity and thus high, corn supply resulting to very low price in the market especially during harvest. The need to further explore the use of yellow corn as broiler feed supplement is imperative. Hence, this study was conducted at varying levels of ground yellow corn (0, 10%20%30%) as broiler feed extender employing RCBD in three. The study was conducted from July 09, 2008 to August 15, 2008 at Sapilang, Bacnotan La Union. The objectives of the study were to determine the performance of broilers fed with varying levels of ground yellow corn as feed extender and to determine the profit ability of raising broilers fed with varying levels of ground yellow corn as feed extender. Results showed that birds fed with varying levels of ground yellow corn resulted to highly significant gain in weight and profit above feed, medicine and stock cost. Insignificant differences noted on final weight, feed consumption efficiency, feed conversion efficiency and feed cost to produce a kilogram.

Varying levels of probiotics for weaners (pigs)
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University- North La Union Campus, 2008-03) Ledda, Bernice N.
Literature states that addition of probiotics in feeds for swine shows a great potential in both young and growing finishing pigs. Hence, this study was conducted to determine the effects of varying levels of probiotics (T0 – control, T1 – 1.25 kg. of probiotic per ton of feed, T2 – 1.5 kg. of probiotic per ton of feed, T3 – 1.75 kg. of probiotic per ton of feed) on the performance of 24 weaner pigs from October 6 – December 8, 2007 at the Piggery project of Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University, North La Union Campus, Bacnotan, La Union. The findings of the study showed that the addition of probiotic at different levels resulted to comparable performance as the control pigs in terms of final weight, gain in weight, feed conversion efficiency and profit above feed, medicine, probiotic and stock cost. However, probiotics significantly increased feed consumption of pigs.
