Abstract: CAMPOS, JOHN MICHAEL A. and RODERNO, VINZE CLARK H. Response of Broilers to Diets Supplemented with Fresh Acacia (Samanea saman) Leaves During Growing and Finishing Periods. Undergraduate Thesis Bachelor of Science in Agriculure major in Animal Science. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2014. Adviser: Mr. Gary A. Pareja. This study was conducted to determine the effects of supplementing diets with chopped fresh acacia leaves on broilers in terms of body weight gain, feed consumption, feed conversion efficiency and harvest recovery; evaluate the organo leptic properties of broiler meat from every treatment; and determine the cost and return of supplementing broiler diets with acacia leaf meal. Ninety six chicks were used in this study. The birds were distributed randomly into four treatments and three replications at 15 days of age. Each replication consisted of eight birds. The treatments were: TO- control, pure commercial feeds; T1- 2% acacia leaves plus 98% commercial feeds T2- 4% acacia leaves plus 96% commercial feeds; and T3- 6% acacia leaves plus 94% commercial feeds. Results of the study revealed that supplementation with fresh acacia leaves did not affect body weight gain, feed consumption, feed conversion efficiency and harvest recovery. The sensory evaluation by the panelists also indicated similar scores for flavor, juiciness, tenderness and general acceptability of the broiler meat. The control group (TO) had higher total feed cost than treatments with fresh acacia leaves (T1, T2 and T3). It also posted the highest total production cost, while the treatment with birds fed diets with 4% acacia leaves (T2) had the lowest. The highest income was generated from birds in T3, followed by birds in T2 and TO. Birds in T1 provided the lowest income.

This study was conducted to determine the effects of supplementing diets with chopped fresh acacia leaves on broilers in terms of body weight gain, feed consumption, feed conversion efficiency and harvest recovery; evaluate the organo leptic properties of broiler meat from every treatment; and determine the cost and return of supplementing broiler diets with acacia leaf meal.
Ninety six chicks were used in this study. The birds were distributed randomly into four treatments and three replications at 15 days of age. Each replication consisted of eight birds. The treatments were: TO- control, pure commercial feeds; T1- 2% acacia leaves plus 98% commercial feeds T2- 4% acacia leaves plus 96% commercial feeds; and T3- 6% acacia leaves plus 94% commercial feeds.

Results of the study revealed that supplementation with fresh acacia leaves did not affect body weight gain, feed consumption, feed conversion efficiency and harvest recovery. The sensory evaluation by the panelists also indicated similar scores for flavor, juiciness, tenderness and general acceptability of the broiler meat.
