The project put emphasis on the technology for the supplementation of corn grit and rice middling (bin lid) to broilers. It was conducted at Sabang, Naic, Cavite from July to December 1990 using 200 day old chicks raised in two cycles.
The 200 day-old
hicks were fed ad libitum. They were fed every four hours and were given fresh water with antibiotics continuously until their market-able stage was reached. At the start, the chicks were fed with broiler starter mash until the fifth week. During the sixth week to marketing age, they were fed with 66% broiler finisher mash, mixed with 18% corn grit and 16% middling. Results of production showed that the broilers in the first cycle, which had an initial weight of 6.35 kilograms, gained a total weight of 131.18 kilograms. They consumed 350 kilograms of feed, exhibited 2.66 feed efficiency, recorded 15% mortality, and gave a p620.05 net income. In the second cycle, the broilers with an initial weight of 6.75 kgs. registered a total body weight of 140.58 kgs, consumed 325 kgs of feed, exhibited 2.43 feed efficiency and registered 1% mortality. It gave a net income of P801.55.
