Abstract: DIESTA, JOEL V. Performance of Broilers Subjected to Shortened Brooding Period. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Agriculture, major in Animal Science. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2003. Adviser: Dr. Magdalena N. Alcantara. The study entitled, Performance of Broilers Subjected to Shortened Brooding Period was conducted to determine the performance of broilers in terms of; amount rate feed consumption; feed conversion efficiency; mortality; and profitability of production. A total of 100-day old Arbor Acre broiler chicks was used in the study which was divided into four treatments: T 1-21 days brooding period; T2-14 days brooding period; T3-10 days brooding period; and T4-7 days brooding period. Data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance Table (ANOVA) and means were compared using Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT). Insignificant differences (P>0.05) were noted on the final gain in weight of the birds’ Significant differences (P<O.OI) were observed in its total feed consumption. There was a trend when feed consumption decreases, as brooding period is shortened. Birds subjected to 7-day brooding period were more (P<O.OI) efficient in converting feeds into meat than the rest of the animals. Mortality occurred in all other treatments except in T4. Birds subjected to 7- day brooding period gave the highest net income. Income decreases as the brooding period lengthens.
