Abstract: VICEDO, ROWELL TAMBAL. “EVALUATION OF JANITOR FISH (Hypostomus plecostomus) AS PROTEIN SOURCE IN STARTER AND FINISHER RATIONS OF BROILER CHICKEN” Undergraduate Thesis. Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, Indang, Cavite, March 2006. Adviser: Alvin- William A. Alvarez, DVM. The study was conducted to assess the effect of Janitor fish meal on the growth performance of male broilers. The study used one hundred twenty male day-old chicks that were divided into two groups: treatment 1] (broiler chickens fed with rations containing Peruvian fish meal) and treatment 2 (broiler chickens fed with rations containing janitor fish meal). Proximate analysis of the janitor fish meal revealed that it contains lower crude protein (43.86%) compared to Peruvian fish meal. Result also showed that Peruvian fish meal has 0.5 % Crude Fiber, 12 % Crude Fat, 10 %Moisture, 14 % Ash, 5 % Calcium. and 2 % Phosphorus. While Janitor fish meal contains1.63 %Crude Fiber, 15.66 % Crude Fat, 4.30 % Moisture, 28.67 % Ash, 10.20 % Calcium, and 4.98 % Phosphorus. Pepsin digestibility test showed that Janitor fish meal is comparable to Peruvian fish meal (63 %) and falls within range. Significant difference between the ADG of broilers fed with Peruvian fish meal and those fed with Janitor fish meal was observed on week 2 and 3 (Treatment 1=51.73 g and 51.52 g; Treatment 2=41.67 g and 39.69 g). Significant difference in final body weight was observed between broiler chickens fed with rations containing Peruvian (1581.67 g) and Janitor (1425.83) fish meal. Birds fed with Janitor fish meal obtained a lower gain in weight. Feed consumption, feed conversion ratio, and average daily gain was adversely affected by several factors resulting to the poor performance of Treatment 2. The Feed Conversion Ratio of broilers fed with ration containing Janitor fish meal was significantly higher (3.41) compared to the broiler chickens fed with rations containing Peruvian Fish meal.
