Abstract: CRUCIDO, NORMAN ANABO, "EFFECT OF DIFFERENT CONCENTRATIONS OF LOCALLY PRODUCED EM (EFFECTIVE MICROORGANISMS) BOKASHI AS FEED ADDITIVE ON PRODUCTION PERFORMANCE, MORTALITY AND MORBIDITY RATES OF BROILER CHICKENS". Undergraduate Thesis. Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, Indang, Cavite March 2008. Adviser: Eugene M. Principe, DVM. The study determined the effect of different concentrations of locally produced EM (effective microorganisms) bokashi as feed additive on production performance, mortality and morbidity rates of broiler chickens. The study used 150 day-old Cobb strain chicks that were divided into 5 groups: treatment 1 (fed with plain ratio), treatment 2 (fed with 2% EM feed additive), treatment 3 (fed with 3% EM feed additive), treatment 4 (fed with 4% EM feed additive) and treatment 5 (fed with 5% EM feed additive), using complete randomized block design. Broiler chickens fed in 15 showed better average daily gain than the other treatments on day 30 (32.37). But at day 45, T1 was slightly higher at 37.1. Feed conversion ratio values of broiler chickens with EM Bokashi was slightly better (T5: 2.13, T4: 2.38, T3: 2.48, T2: 2.79) at day 30 relative to the control group (2.94). However at day 45, the FCR of T5 (2.65) was better and followed by T1 (2.82), T4 (2.83), T2 (2.9) and T3 (2.91). Slight difference on total feed consumed between treatments at day 30 and day 45 was not significant. The occurrence of respiratory and gastrointestinal diseases was not observed in all the treatment groups. The cost and return analysis revealed that broiler chickens raised with EM Bokashi is more profitable compared to those fed with commercial feeds with a net on gross profit difference of Php 36.41 per bird. In conclusion, the results of the study showed that using EM Bokashi can have an effect on the production performance of broiler chickens. However, during the study, some performance indicators such as FCR values did not meet Philippine standards. The researcher recommends further study on EM bokashi and its use.
