DIGMA, JENNY VHIE C. Ameliorative Effects of Supplementing Vitamin A, C and E in the Performance of Broiler Chickens Subjected to Heat Stress during Wet Season.Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Agriculture major in Animal Science. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. March 2016. Adviser: Dr. Cristina F. Olo.
The study was conducted at the Animal Production Project of the Department of
Animal Science at Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite from September 10 to October
14, 2015 to determine the effect of supplementing vitamin A, C and E on the performance of broiler chickens subjected to heat stress, specifically, on the body weight, average daily gain, feed consumption and feed conversion efficiency.
A total of 240 birds were supplemented with Vitamin A, C and E singly or in combination. Birds were obtained from Phil-Malay at MataasnaLupa, Indang, Cavite. Chicks were individually weighed and randomly assigned in 48 cages. Broiler chicks were equally distributed to 16 treatment combinations. Each treatment was replicated three times with five birds per cage. Specifically, 24 cages with 5 birds/cage (n=120) in the existing broiler house exposed to existing environmental conditions and other 24 cages were located in a temperature controlled room with a minimum of 340C.
Results showed that birds under heat stress supplemented with Vitamin C and combination of Vitamin A, C and E on the fifth week showed lower (P<0.05) body weight gain, lower (P<0.05) average daily gain and increased (P<0.05) feed conversion efficiency. Moreover, heat stress significantly lowered (P<0.05) body weight, lowered (P<0.05) average daily gain and increased (P<0.05) feed conversion efficiency of broilers.
