"EFFECTIVITY OF USING JACKFRUIT (Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam) SEEDS AS FEED SUPPLEMENT FOR CHICKEN (Gallus domesticus). Advisers: Prof. Erano Esguerra and Prof. Dulce Ramos The effectiveness of using jackfruit seeds as feed supplement for broilers was tested in this study entitled "Effectivity of Using Jackfruit Seeds (Artocarpus heterophyllus) as Feed Supplement for Chicken (Gallus domesticus). The main objectives are to find out the effect of jackfruit seeds as feed supplement on the growth performance of the chickens and to determine the right level of jackfruit seeds to be added to commercial mash to give the highest feed conversion ratio. The study used six treatments, T₁ (5% jackfruit seeds + 95% commercial feeds), T₂ (10% jackfruit seeds + 90% commercial feeds), T3 (15% jackfruit seeds + 85% commercial feeds), T4 (20% jackfruit seeds + 80% commercial feeds), and Ts (25% jackfruit seeds + 75% commercial feeds). A control treatment (100% commercial feeds) was used to serve as the basis of comparison. The results of the study revealed variability of effects of jackfruit seeds as feed supplement in terms of their growth performance. The best growth performance was obtained by the birds in treatment 2 with the highest total gain in weight of 1100 grams after 45 days, followed by treatment 3 with the total gain in weight of 1098 grams, and treatment 4 with the total gain in weight of 1066 grams. Fourth and fifth in rank were treatment 1 and treatment 5 with the total gain in weight of 1050 grams and 873.33 grams respectively. The birds in treatment 6 obtained the lowest gain in weight of 813.33 grams.
