Abstract: This study was conducted in order to determine the effect of different levels of finely chopped gabi on the growth of broilers. Especial emphasis on the economic possibility of using finely chopped gabi added to the mash ratio of broilers were considered. It was conducted at the Poultry Project of the Department of Animal Science, Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite from January 19, 1976 to March 15, 1976. A total of one-hundred (100) day-old cobb broiler chicks were divided at random into four lots so that each lot had 25 chicks. The entire duration of the study was divided into two stages: the initial three week-phase and the experimental five-week period. During the initial phase, birds from all lots were subjected to the same management and feeding practices. However, during the experimental period each lot had different treatments. Lot 1 served as the control lot in which 100% mash was provided. Lot 2 was provided with 25% mash and 75% finely chopped gabi mixture. Lot 3 had 50% mash-50% finely chopped gabi-mash mixture and lot 4 had 75-25% mixture. The birds were fed ad libitum and fresh drinking water was provided all the time, The final weight of the birds showed that the birds from lot 1 (contro) also registered the highest possible return with P3.64. This was followed by lot 2 with P2.28. Lot 3 gave a deficit of P0.34. Lot 4 had a P1.60 deficit based on economic analysis of this study. Findings based from this study indicate that it is not advisable to use finely chopped gabi as substitute for commercial mash as practiced by some farmers when there is a lack of feed.

This study was conducted in order to determine the effect of different levels of finely chopped gabi on the growth of broilers. Especial emphasis on the economic possibility of using finely chopped gabi added to the mash ratio of broilers were considered. It was conducted at the Poultry Project of the Department of Animal Science, Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite from January 19, 1976 to March 15, 1976. A total of one-hundred (100) day-old cobb broiler chicks were divided at random into four lots so that each lot had 25 chicks.

The entire duration of the study was divided into two stages: the initial three week-phase and the experimental five-week period.

The final weight of the birds showed that the birds from lot 1 (contro) also registered the highest possible return with P3.64. This was followed by lot 2 with P2.28. Lot 3 gave a deficit of P0.34.

Lot 4 had a P1.60 deficit based on economic analysis of this study. Findings based from this study indicate that it is not advisable to use finely chopped gabi as substitute for commercial mash as practiced by some farmers when there is a lack of feed.
