Twelve weanlings were used to determine which among different levels of commercial growth promotant (Quixalud) would best enhance the performance of weanlings in terms of growth rate, feed consumption, feed conversion efficiency and
monetary return.
Four treatments were evaluated in the study and the replication was the number of weaners per treatment.
Treatment 1 involved the addition of 2 g of growth promotant per bag of starter mash and 5 g per bag of grower and finisher mash; Treatment 2 involves the addition of 3 g growth promotant per bag of starter mash and 6 g per bag of grower and finisher; treatment 3 added 4 g per bag of starter mash and 7 g of grower and finisher mash and treatment IV was no supplementation of growth promotant which serves as the control.
The results of the study showed insignificant differences among treatments in terms of body weight, feed consumption and feed efficiency. However, animals fed with Starter mash containing 2 g of growth promotant had slightly better growth and feed
efficiency.
The total cost of production in Treatments 1, 2, and 3 were higher than treatment 4 due to the additional cost of growth promotant used. However,the net income in treatment Was slightly better than treatments 2, 3 and 4. Likewise the return on investment in treatment 1 was better than the other treatments.
Based on the results, addition of 2 g of growth promotant per 50 kg starter mash and 5 g per 50 kg grower and finisher mash is economically advantageous.
