Abstract: NEO, ELEANOR MACALINDONG. Growth Performance of Sasso Chicken under Confinement and Non-confinement Management System. An undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Agriculture major in Animal Science. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2006. Adviser: Prof Erafio C. Esquerra. A study was conducted in a backyard poultry project at Brgy. Buck Estate, Alfonso, Cavite from January to February 2005 to compare the growth performance and organoleptic characteristics of Sasso chicken raised under confinement and non-confinement management systems. Two treatments with a total of 40 day-old Sasso chicks were used on this study as follows: T1, confinement system; and T2 non-confinement system. The results revealed no significant differences (P>0.05) between the treatments except in week 4 and week 8 body weights and week 5, 7 and 8 body weight gains. More feed was consumed by Sasso chickens raised on confinement system than Sasso chickens raised on range. Feed conversion efficiency was similar between the treatments (P>0.05) except in week 6,7 and week 8. Mortality occurred during the time of brooding period and in fourth week of age in Treatment 2. No significant differences (P>0.05) were observed in relative weights of gizzard, liver, heart, and abdominal fat and highly significantly differences (P<0.01) in intestines and feathers. There were no significant differences (P>0.05) in average dressing percentage of the Sasso chickens raised under confinement and non-confinement system. Sensory evaluation results showed no significant differences (P>0.05) in terms of meat color, flavor, off-flavor and general acceptability but significantly different (P<0.05) in tenderness and juiciness. Confinement management system (T2) of Sasso chickens was more profitable than non- confinement system (Ti).
