Abstract: BOCO JULIUS BRIAN P. Performance of Broilers as Affected by the Application of Sound Masking Techniques Using White Noise Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Agriculture major in Animal Science. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. May 2017. Adviser: Mr. Gary A. Pareja. The study was conducted to determine the effects of application of sound masking technique using white noise on the performance of broiler chickens. Specifically, it aimed to: determine the effects of providing white noise as sound masking on the body weight, feed consumption, feed conversion efficiency and mortality of broilers; determine the duration and time of the day when sound masking is necessary; and determine the cost and return of the broiler production given the application of the white noise-sound mask. Ninety-six (96) day-old chicks were subjected to the following treatment: Treatment 1, without white noise as control: Treatment 2, with 12 hours white noise, from 6am to 6pm; Treatment 3, with 12 hours white noise, from 6pm to 6am; and Treatment 4, with 24 hours white noise every day. Significance difference (p<0.05) were observed in body weights of broilers at four and five weeks of age with birds provided with 24 hours of white noise (T4) and birds provided with 12 hours of white noise from 6am to 6pm (T2) gained heavier weights than other treatments. No significant difference, however, were recorded on feed consumption and feed efficiency. No incidence of mortality and leg problems were recorded on birds with white noise for 24 hours unlike other treatments. Birds provided with white noise for 24 hours (T4) gave the most acceptable percentage on ROI of 32.06%. On the other hand, birds not subjected to white noise (T1) gave the lowest ROI of 6.17%
