COSTELO, MA. CRISTINA F. Effects of Using Dried Basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) Leaves on the Growing Performance of Broilers. Undergraduate thesis. Bachelor of Science in Agriculture major in Animal Science. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. May 2017. Adviser: Dr. Magdalena N. Alcantara.
The study was conducted at the Broiler Project of the Department of Animal Science at Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite from February 23, 2017 to March 29, 2017 to determine: (l) the effect of dried basil leaves in the body weight, feed consumption, and feed conversion ratio of the broilers; (2) the level of dried basil leaves most effective on the growth performance of broilers; (3) and the cost and return of raising broilers supplemented with different levels of dried basil leaves.
Ninety-six-day-old chicks were used in the study for five weeks. The treatments were: Treatment 0- Pure Commercial feed, Treatment l- 5 g dried basil leaves/kg of commercial feeds, Treatment 2- 10 g dried basil leaves/kg of commercial feeds, and Treatment 3- 15 g dried basil leaves/kg of commercial feeds. All data gathered were subjected to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and to Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT) for significant differences of means.
The results of the study showed similar (P > 0.05) body weight, cumulative feed consumption and feed conversion efficiency. However, broilers supplemented with dried basil leaves exhibited better numerical performance over the supplemented group. One hundred percent harvest recovery was recorded after the supplementation,
The highest production cost (P 3,379.82) came from birds given 15 g basil leaves while the lowest (P 3,349.44) was from the supplemented group. The highest net income (P 1,247.24) and return of investment (37.01%) were noted in birds given 10 g of dried basil leaves.
