ENRIQUEZ, REYNETTE K "Effect of Different Levels of Single-Cell Protein (SCP) as Feed Ingredient on the Growth and Performance of Broilers". Adviser: Prof Teresita M. Labrador.
A study was conducted to compare the growth and performance of broilers fed with different levels of SCP, mixed to BSI (14 to 35 d) and BFI (35 to 38 d) at two percent, four percent, six percent inclusion rate in formulation. The study had four treatments replicated five times arranged in a Completely Randomized Design. The treatments were as follows: Treatment I: 0% inclusion; Treatment II: 2% SCP; Treatment III: 4% SCP and Treatment IV: 6% SCP. Results showed nonsignificant differences in body weight, feed consumption and feed conversion efficiency. Differences among treatments in dressing percentage was not significant and the relative weights of gizzard and proventriculus, heart, spleen, small and large intestine, liver and feather were not significant (P>0.05). Those of abdominal fat pad were significant (P<0.05). Mortality was very low. Only one bird in Treatment I died due to infectious Coryza. The physical appearances of the meat as well as the sensory evaluation were not affected by the inclusion of SCP in the diet. Treatment IV (6%, SCP) was more profitable than the rest of the treatments. Overall, all treatment rations were more profitable than the control.
