Abstract: ABSTRACT BELTRAN, GERLY T. EFFECTS OF SUPPLEMENTING HIGH LEVELS OF ASHITABA (Gynura procumbens) LEAVES DECOCTION VIA DRINKING WATER ON THE GROWTH PERFORMANCE OF BROILERS. An undergraduate Thesis: Bachelor of Science in Agriculture major in Animal Science. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2016. Adviser: Magdalena N. Alcantara, PhD The study was conducted at Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite broiler housing facility from July 02, 2015 to August 07, 2015 generally to determine the effect of high levels of Ashitaba decoction in the body weight, feed consumption, feed conversion ratio, mortality rate, abdominal fat pad, weight of giblets and harvest recovery of broilers. Specifically the study also aimed to determine the level of Ashitaba decoction that is most beneficial to broilers and cost and return of supplementing Ashitaba decoction in broilers. Ninety six (96) chicks were used in the study. The birds were randomly distributed in to four treatments following Completely Randomize Design (CRD) replicated three times with eight birds per replication. The treatments were as follows: T I (Plain Water),T Il (35ml Ashitaba Decoction + 965ml Water), T Ill (40ml Ashitaba decoction + 960ml Water) and T IV (45ml Ashitaba decoction + 955ml Water). All data gathered were subjected to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and treatments were compared using Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT). Results of the study showed significantly higher body weight, feed consumption and heart weight of broilers supplemented with Ashitaba leaves decoction. Among these birds, those given 40ml supplement were on the lead. Also, there was a little improvement on abdominal fat pad, dressing percentage and harvest recovery among the supplemented birds. Their feed efficiency, however, slightly decreased. Finally, birds given Ashitaba leaves supplement had higher net income and return on investment compared to the birds on the control group with those supplemented with 40ml decoction on the lead.

ABSTRACT
BELTRAN, GERLY T. EFFECTS OF SUPPLEMENTING HIGH LEVELS OF ASHITABA (Gynura procumbens) LEAVES DECOCTION VIA DRINKING WATER ON THE GROWTH PERFORMANCE OF BROILERS. An undergraduate Thesis: Bachelor of Science in Agriculture major in Animal Science. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2016. Adviser: Magdalena N. Alcantara, PhD

The study was conducted at Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite broiler housing facility from July 02, 2015 to August 07, 2015 generally to determine the effect of high levels of Ashitaba decoction in the body weight, feed consumption, feed conversion ratio, mortality rate, abdominal fat pad, weight of giblets and harvest recovery of broilers. Specifically the study also aimed to determine the level of Ashitaba decoction that is most beneficial to broilers and cost and return of supplementing Ashitaba decoction in broilers.
Ninety six (96) chicks were used in the study. The birds were randomly distributed in to four treatments following Completely Randomize Design (CRD) replicated three times with eight birds per replication. The treatments were as follows: T I (Plain Water),T Il (35ml Ashitaba Decoction + 965ml Water), T Ill (40ml Ashitaba decoction + 960ml Water) and T IV (45ml Ashitaba decoction + 955ml Water). All data gathered were subjected to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and treatments were compared using Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT).
Results of the study showed significantly higher body weight, feed consumption and heart weight of broilers supplemented with Ashitaba leaves decoction. Among these birds, those given 40ml supplement were on the lead. Also, there was a little improvement on abdominal fat pad, dressing percentage and harvest recovery among the

supplemented birds. Their feed efficiency, however, slightly decreased.
Finally, birds given Ashitaba leaves supplement had higher net income and return on investment compared to the birds on the control group with those supplemented with
40ml decoction on the lead.
