Abstract: The study, "Performance of Broilers Supplemented with Molasses in Drinking Water" was conducted to determine the relative performance characteristics of broilers supplemented with molasses in drinking water. It was conduct-. at the Poultry Protect, Department of Animal Science, Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite from August to October 12, 1992. The eight week duration of the study was divided into two phases: the initial four-week period and the experimental four-week_ period. During the initial phase of the study, birds in all treatments were given the same management, and same drinking and feeding methods. On the other hand, during the experimental phase, bif;ds were given the same feeds but different levels of molasses in drinking water. (Treatment 1 - control, treatment 2 - 95 % water plus 5 molasses; treatment 3 - 90% water plus 10% molasses; and treatment 4 - 35 % water plus 15% molasses). Highest average body weight, highest average cumu-lative feed consumption and highest net return were observed in Treatment III (10% molasses), which produced 1,556 grams body weight, 3,601 grams cumulative feed consumption and P4.11 net labor returns per bird. Treatment I (control) attained the lowest average body weight of 1.436 grams, lowest cumulative feed consumption of 3,456 grams and better feed conversion efficiency of 2.337. There were no significant differences observed in the body weight, cumulative consumption and feed efficiency. Findings reveal that supplementing molasses in drinking water of broilers have no better effect on body .weight. Results of the study also indicate that supplementing molasses should not be recommended for it only increases the feed consumption without better feed efficiency.
