DILOY, GENER C. Utilization of Different Percent Levels of Ground Sunflower Seeds for Broilers. Undergraduate Thesis. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2002. Adviser: Prof Teresita M. Labrador.
A study on "Utilization of Different Percent Levels of Ground Sunflower Seeds for Broilers" was conducted in the Poultry Project of Cavite State University from April 24 to June 04, 2001 to determine the performance of broilers supplemented with different percent levels of ground sunflower seeds. A total of 180 straight run broiler chicks was used in the study Birds were randomly distributed in four treatments. Each treatment was replicated three times with fifteen birds per replication.
Results showed significant differences in the final body weight, feed consumption and feed efficiency of birds during the sixth weeks of rearing period, Birds supplemented with different levels of sunflower seeds were more efficient than the control group.
Average dressed weight and dressing percentage of birds supplemented with sunflower seeds were not significantly but relatively higher than the control group. Mortality occurred in Treatments II and I with 4.4 percent while 2.2 percent on Treatment IV. There was no mortality in Treatment III.
No significant differences were observed in the relative weight of the heart, liver, gizzard, feather and abdominal fat pad of the birds. The relative weight of gizzard, liver, feather and fat was higher in females than that of the males, while the relative weight of the heart was heavier in males. Physical differences were observed in the meat quality; color of the skin and deposition of fats.
Treatments II and III were more profitable than treatment I. Least profitability was observed in Treatment IV..
