Abstract: ESGUERRA, WILFREDO QUINAY, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite, March 2000. "A Preliminary Study on the Performance of Broilers Supplemented with Drinking Water Acidifier (Forticoat-NL®)". Advisers: Dr. Jun B. Feranil and Dr. Alvin L. Estanislao. A preliminary study was conducted to determine the performance of broilers supplemented with drinking water acidifier (Forticoat-NL®) in terms of average daily gain, feed consumption, and final body weight and feed conversion efficiency. The study also aimed to determine the profitability of supplementing acidifier to drinking water of broiler. The following treatments were used: Treatment I, without Forticoat-NL® (control group) and Treatment II, with Forticoat-NL® (treated group). Results revealed significant (P<0.01) differences in final body weight and final gain in weight. Although not significant (P>0.05), birds given Forticoat-NL® had a relatively higher average daily gain than those without Forticoat-NLS. The treated birds had a higher (P<0.05) feed consumption. They also had a better (P<0.05) feed conversion efficiency than the control group. The mortality rate of the birds in the control group (16%) was higher than in the control group (4%). The cost and return analysis showed a good return on investment with the treated than the control group.
