CORNELIO, ALJAY V. and LUMOGDA, DIVINE GRACE P. Effects of Fresh Madre de agua (Trichantera gigantea) Leaf Extract on the Performance of Broilers. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Agriculture major in Animal Science. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2014. Adviser: Prof. Teresita M. Labrador.
The study was conducted at the Broiler Production Project of the Department of Animal Science of Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite from November 22 to December 24, 2013. The study aimed to determine the effect of fresh Madre de agua leaf extract in terms of average live weight, feed consumption, feed conversion efficiency, dressing percentage, weight of giblets, harvest recovery; the sensory characteristics of broiler’s meat; and the economics of broiler production supplemented with fresh Madre de agua leaf extract.
Supplementation of 10% fresh Madre de agua 'leaf extract in drinking water increases body weight of broilers. Nevertheless, a 15% concentration decreases their- body weight but increases the weight of giblets. The groups supplemented with 10% leaf extract had higher (P<0.05) feed consumption as compared with other groups. However, the control and supplemented groups shows similar (P>0.05) feed conversion efficiency and dressing percentage. Harvest recovery was 100%.
Sensory characteristics differed (P<0.05) in terms of juiciness and tenderness which favored the control group. Similar (P>0.05) results on flavour and general acceptability was recorded in all groups.
The highest total production cost (P 3835.55) was recorded in the group provided with 10% fresh Madre de agua leaf extract while the lowest (P 3534.42) was noted in the group provided with 15% fresh Madre de agua leaf extract. However, the highest total return (P 5057.50) was still from the group provided with 10% fresh Madre de agua leaf extract while the lowest (P 4682.60) was observed in the group given 15% fresh Madre de agua leaf extract.
