ARBOLEDA, EDWIN R. Applied Research IV (Agrisciences Curriculum) Don Severino Agricultural College , Indang, Cavite, March 1995. Adviser: Prof. Erano Esguerra. This study was conducted at Lumampong, Indang , Cavite form May 5, 1994, to July 5, 1994, to determine the effects of reject papaya fruit meal supplementation on the growth performance of broilers and to find out what level of supplementation was suitable. Five treatment groups were used having levels of supplementation as follows : TO Control (pure commercial feeds ; 5% papaya meal supplement + 95% commercial feeds ; — 10% papaya meal supplement commercial feeds ; — 15% papaya meal supplement + 85% commercial feeds . commercial feeds . 20% papaya meal supplement + 80%
The result revealed that the best level of supplementation was 20% papaya meal supplement + 80% commercial feeds . This treatment improved the growth of birds in terms of final weight and gain in weight, just like the treatment groups fed with 15% papaya meal supplement, 10% papaya meal supplement, and 5% papaya meal. However, there was no significant difference among treatment groups in terms of feed conversion efficiency . There was highly significant difference among treatment groups in terms of feed consumption. This supplement has no effect on toxicity. The poorest result, however, was obtained in the control which are fed with pure commercial feeds.
