The rearing systems and feedstuffs are vital elements in broiler production. The
study determined the performance of broiler (Junior chicks) as influenced by different
rearing systems and levels of guava leaf meal.
One hundred twenty unsexed Junior chicks were randomly distributed into eight
treatment combinations in three replications employing Strip Plot Design. This study was
conducted on December 9, 2022 – January 13, 2023, at Nagsidorisan, Naguilian, La
Union.
Results showed that battery cage rearing system resulted to heavier final weight
and gain in weight of birds compared to deep-litter rearing system. However, the levels of
guava leaf meal did not significantly influence the performance of broilers (Junior chicks).
Furthermore, a comparable performance of broilers (Junior chicks) was shown in the
interaction effects of rearing systems and levels of guava leaf meal.
