CREDO, RINELL C. and RODRIGUEZ, MARIBEN. T. Utilization of Dried Malunggay (Moringa oleifera) Leaves as Feed supplement for Broilers. Undergraduate thesis. Bachelor of Science in Agriculture major in Animal Science. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2014. Adviser: Dr. Magdalena N. Alcantara.
The study was conducted at the Broiler Project of the Department of Animal Science at Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite from November 22 to December 24, 2013 to determine: (1) the effects of dried malunggay leaves on growth performance of broilers in terms of average live weight, cumulative feed consumption, feed efficiency, harvest recovery, weight of giblets and abdominal fat pad, and dressing percentage; (2) the level of dried malunggay leaves most effective on the growth performance of broilers; (3) the sensory properties of broiler meat supplemented with dried malunggay leaves; (4) and the economics of dried malunggay leaves as feed supplement in broiler production. -
One hundred twenty day-old chicks were used in the study. The birds were randomly distributed into four treatments replicated thrice with ten birds per replication. The following treatments were: Treatment 0 — Pure Commercial feed, Treatment I — 10% dried malunggay leaves and 90% commercial feeds, Treatment II — 20% dried malunggay leaves and 80% commercial feeds, and Treatment [II — 30% dried malunggay leaves and 70% commercial feeds. All data gathered were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA) and significant differences were subjected to Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT).
The results of the study showed similar (P>0.05) body weight, cumulative feed consumption, feed conversion efficiency, weight of giblets and abdominal fat pad, and dressing percentage. Therefore supplementation with malunggay is comparable to pure commercial feeds. One hundred percent (100%) harvest recovery was recorded after the supplementation. Likewise, similar (P>0.05) mean scores for flavor, tenderness, juiciness and general acceptability were observed in all treatments.
The highest (P3,531.15) production cost was noted in birds supplemented with 20% dried malunggay leaves while 10% dried malunggay leaves was lesser by 1.2%. This shows that birds with 20% dried malunggay leaves had better feeding ability compared to other treatment and it does not convert to meat. As result, it produced less income but still accepted because 20% dried malunggay leaves produced 8.57% higher net income compare to control birds. Thus, the highest return was incurred in the group given 30% dried malunggay leaves and the lowest was recorded in control birds. With the same trend, 19.17% higher net income per bird was noted in birds given 30% dried malunggay leaves compared to control birds.
