<br/><br/> BAGASIN, CHRISTY C. Performance of broiler chicken supplemented with different levels of Excelsa coffee (coffea excelsa) hull. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Agriculture major in Animal Science. Cavite State University., Indang, Cavite. May 2017. Adviser: Dr. Magdalena N. Alcantara. <br/>The study was conducted at the Broiler Project of the Department of Animal Science, College of Agriculture, Food, Environment and Natural Resources, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite from February 20 to March 26 2017. The study aimed to determine the following: (1) The effect of different levels of Excelsa coffee hull in the growth and performance of broilers; (2) The levels of Excelsa coffee hull that will produce the highest body weight; (3) The level of Excelsa coffee hull that will have the highest return on investment. Ninety six (96) straight-run day old chicks were used in the entire study. <br/>Ninety-six day old broiler chicks were reared until thirty five days. The birds were randomly divided into four treatments replicated three times. The following treatment were tested to obtain the objectives: Treatment 0- Pure commercial feeds, Treatment I — 5 % Excelsa coffee hull and 95 % commercial feeds, Treatment II -10 % Exclesa coffee hull and 90 % commercial feeds and Treatment III — 15 % Excelsa coffee hull and 85 % commercial feeds. <br/>All the data was subjected to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) for Completely Randomized design (CRD). Significant differences among treatments were further analyzed using Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT) (Gomez and Gomez,1984). <br/>Significant differences (P<0.05) were noted in the body weight, feed consumption and feed conversion efficiency, all in favor of the control group. Insignificant differences (P>0.05) were noted in the dressing percentage. No mortality was recorded during the supplementation period. <br/>Broilers without supplement had higher income and return on investment.<br/>
