ANCIANO, ARMAN CABRERA, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite, April 1999. "Dried Poultry Waste as Feed Supplement for Goat." Adviser: Dr, Andrew T. Bunan.
Nine six-month old native goats (bucks) were used in the study to determine their growth rate as influenced by the supplementation of different levels of dried poultry waste in their diet in combination with molasses and napier grass. The goats were grouped into three to represent the three treatments. Each treatment was replicated three times with one goat per replication. The treatments were as follows:
Treatment 1 — 70% Napier grass : 20% Molasses : 10% DPW
Treatment 2 - 60% Napier grass 20% Molasses : 20% DPW
Treatment 3 - 50% Napier grass : 20% Molasses : 30% DPW
The treatment rations were given seven 'o clock up to eleven 'o clock in the morning. The animals were allowed access to grass in the pen. The average gain in weight of goats was highest in Treatment 3 with 4.64 kg followed by treatment 2 with 4.4 kg and Treatment 1 with 3.74 kg. Results showed that the average feed consumption of goats was highest in Treatment 2 with 169.67 kg followed by Treatments 1 and 3 with 158.17 kg and 151.39 kg, respectively. The animals had feed conversion efficiencies of 39.27 kg 42.41 kg and 51.4 kg in Treatments 3, 2 and 1, respectively.
Insignificant (P>0.05) differences were observed in the average body weight of goats from 2 to 12 weeks of the study. Likewise, no significant differences (P>0.05) were observed in the feed conversion efficiency of goats in the 12 week duration of the study. Except in the second week, significant differences (P<0.05) were observed in the intake of goats of treatment rations from 4 to 12 weeks. Except on the fourth week, no significant differences (P>0.05) in grass intake of goats were noted
