MARASIGAN, GIO ANGELO P. Production Performance of Broilers Supplemented with Different Levels of Guyabano (Anona muricata L.) Leaf Meal. Undergraduate Thesis.

This study was conducted at a broiler house in Maitim l, Amadeo, Cavite from February 23 to March 29, 2017. Generally, it aimed to determine the potential of guyabano leaf meal as feed supplemented in broiler production; specifically it aimed to: (l) determine effect of increasing levels of guyabano leaf meal on the growth performance of broiler in terms of growth rate, feed consumption, feed conversion efficiency and harvest recovery; (2) determine the best level of guyabano leaf meal that can be used as feed supplement for broilers; and (3) compute the cost and return of raising broiler supplemented with different levels of guyabano leaf meal.
Ninety-six straight-run day-old chicks were used in the study. The birds were randomly distributed into four treatments, replicated thrice with eight birds per replication. The following treatments were as follows: Treatment 0 — 100% Commercial Feeds; Treatment I (1% Guyabano Leaf Meal); Treatment Il (3% Guyabano Leaf Meal); and Treatment Ill (5% Guyabano Leaf Meal).
All the gathered data was subjected to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) using Completely Randomized Design (CRD). Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) was also used to determine the differences among treatment means.
The results of the study showed no significant differences (P>0.05) in body weight, weekly cumulative feed consumption, feed conversion efficiency and dressing percentage. Proximate analysis showed that the dried Guyabano leaf meal contains:
moisture (7.29 0/0), ash (7.02 0/6), crude protein (15.21 %), crude fiber (26.18 %) and crude fat (5.11 %).
The highest production cost (P3,310.94) was observed in Treatment I (1% dried guyabano leaf meal) while the lowest (P2,962.04) was incurred in Treatment Ill (5% Guyabano Leaf Meal). Treatment Ill (5% dried Guyabano Leaves) has the highest net income with P! ,664.39 and Treatment Il (3% dried Guyabano Leaves) has the lowest with PI,212.66 With the same trend, the highest income per bird (P69.35) was observed in Treatment Ill (5% dried Guyabano Leaves) and the lowest income per bird (P50.53) was noted in the birds in Treatment Il (3% dried Guyabano Leaves).
