Abstract
Poultry raisers are faced with the problem of high feed cost and exploring
other alternative source of feed ingredients for broiler production. Hence, this
study was conducted at the Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University
North La Union Campus, Bacnotan, La Union from November 23 to December
28, 2007 to determine the effect of buga meal (BM) as feed supplement (T0-pure
commercial broiler starter mash, T1 (5% BM + 100% CBSM); T2 (10% CBBM +
100% CBSM); and T3 (15% BM + 100% CBSM) on the performance of broilers
and to determine the profit above feed, medicine and stock cost of broiler.
Results revealed a comparable final weight, gain in weight, feed
consumption, feed conversion efficiency and profit above cost of birds fed with
5%-10% buga meal to birds fed with pure commercial broiler starter mash.
However, the addition of 15% buga meal as feed supplement to usual ration
significantly reduced the affect performance of broilers.
