Effects of Sargassum (Sargassum sp.) on the growth performance of broiler
Abstract
Poultry is a vital branch area of the agricultural economy and has traditionally been one of the most profitable businesses, providing nutritious meats and eggs for human consumption within the shortest possible time. Hence, this study was conducted to determine the different levels of Sun-Dried Sargassum (Sargassum sp.) meal as a feed supplement for broilers to determine the best treatment of dried sargassum meal (10%, 20%, 30%, and 40%) that could substitute commercial feeds from February 08, 2022, to April 04, 2022, at Barangay Carisquis, Luna, La Union. Results of the study disclosed that the average daily feed consumption and dressing percentage of birds were not significantly influenced by the different levels of sub-dried sargassum meal as a feed supplement. However, a significant result was noted on the final weight, gain weight of birds, feed conversion ratio, liver weight, gizzard weight and profit above, medicine, and stock cost of birds.
