CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

The growth of population is still rapidly increasing, as the result, the increasing demand for

goods and services. In agricultural sector, where our food is coming, they still looking for some

improvement on how to fasten the production in terms of animal and crop products to meet the

daily needs of human.

In animal production, poultry production is one of the top producers in terms of meat and

eggs. In such way, poultry farming are facing many challenges and problems that may affect the

production of poultry products and to the profit of poultry raisers. One of this is the unending

increase costs of commercial feed and other feed stuffs. One solution for this is the proper

utilization of the agricultural waste and by-products, unknown legumes and forages and other,

which have characteristics, potential as feed ingredients and feed additives. The use of locally

available and indigenous materials is not new in poultry production due to unstoppable research

for improvement and making solution and getting answer for increasing commercial feed costs.

Another problem is the proper feed formulation. Proper feed formulation could help the

production to become more efficient. Errors and difficulties during the feed making process can

lead to feeds reduced its quality, being presented to the birds. Some of the problems that can

occur during the making process are including; incorrect nutritional values within the feed

formulation matrix, inappropriate grinding- inadequately or excessively ground raw materials

will reduce its quality and durability. This could lead to a high percentage of fines in the finished

feed and increased segregation and feeds wastage and also inadequate mixing or incorrect raw

materials inclusion will result in nutrient imbalances in the finished feeds.

The purpose of every poultry raisers is to produce the best and quality chickens that

perform well in terms of better and higher weight gain, better conversion efficiency and better

meat quality to meet the unending increase of demand in poultry products. Those purpose must

be attain because quality chickens require shorter growing period, lesser feeds, lesser efforts and

lesser expenses, that result in bigger profit.

Peanut ( Arachis hypogea L.) is consists of an extra hull (or shell) (21-29%) surrounding

the nut (71-79%) (Van Doosselaere, 2013; Davis et al., 2016). The shelling of peanuts is often

the second operation (after cleaning) of peanut processing, as both the production of peanut oil

and the production of peanut snacks, peanut butter and other peanut-based foods require kernels

without hulls ( except the production of in-shell peanuts). And peanut hulls usually consists of

fragmented hulls with variable amounts ta whole or broken kernels (Hill, 2002).

Peanut hulls and skins are considered as waste products of the food industry generated in

large amounts. Peanut hulls are often burned, dumped or left to detoriate naturally, in peanut

producing countries (Singh et al., 1999). In the recent past environmental concerned have led to

an interest in using peanut shells for a variety of purposes; fuel, mulch, carrier for chemical and

fertilizers, bedding for livestock and poultry, pet litter, soil conditioners, etc. (Hill, 2002). That’s

why, peanut hulls are effectively used as roughage source at levels 20% of beef finishing diets,

for bedding in dairy cattle loafing sheds. Peanut hulls are economically priced because of their

quantity, their inherent high fiber content and low CP content and they should not be fed as

primary feedstuffs for beef cattle (Hill, 2002). It is also fed to poultry, rabbits and other livestock

animals.

Tropical kudzu (Pueraria phaseoloides) is a vigorous dense- growing vine cultivated

cover crop, green manure and fodder for livestock. It is a twining and climbing perennial legume.

Tropical kudzu forms swards of tangled branches that may reach (60-75 cm) in height (Heuze et

al., 2016).

Tropical kudzu is often used as nitrogen-fixing green manure or grown as a cover crop in

coffee, oil palm, citrus and rubber plantations. Tropical kudzu leaves and stems are rich in

protein (about 19%) and palatable to livestock and so are used widely as animal fodder. It may

also be used as a pasture crop (ECHOcommunity.org). According to Halim, 1997, the roots are

reported to be edible and its fibrous roots are used to make ropes. In addition, like most legume

forages it is rich in protein but due to its very high fiber content (crude fiber 26-40%) it is tends

to be detrimental for animal feeding.

Rice bran D1 is the finest by product of rice milling process. Rice bran contains various

antioxidants that have good effects in human and animal health. It is widely used as a major

component of livestock feeds and is a source of rice bran oil also used as food and medicine

ingredients (West Grains, 2013).

Fish meal is a by-product of fish production; it comes from fish trimmings,

offal’s, excess production that may not contribute in human consumption, small fishes and etc. It

can obtain by drying, cooking, and grinding.

3

Kudzu, Corn, Rice Bran D1 and Molasses

Fish meal is recognized as valuable animal protein supplement and a source of

vitamins, minerals and unknown growth factors. Fish meals are added to the diet as high quality

supplements to obtain efficient diets, particularly for aquaculture and animal feed (Janatha Fish

Meal and Oil Products, 2017).

Maize (Zea mays L.) is a major staple food grain throughout the world,

particularly in Africa, Latin America and Asia and it is a major feed stuff in developed countries

(ECOcrop, 2010).

Maize or corn is very important as a livestock feed ingredient to chickens and other

poultry species. This is because maize is the major energy source in livestock feeds and it is very

high in energy. It is also the most common and readily available source of energy for livestock.

Maize contains protein, but very low and of poor quantity (Livestocking, 2018).

Molasses is a sticky dark by-product of processing sugar cane or sugar beets into

sugar. Molasses can be a source of quick energy and an excellent source of minerals for farm

animals and even humans. Molasses can also be a key ingredient for cost effective management

of feed and pastures (Daley, 2012).

Daley, 2012, said that, feeding molasses to farm animals will improve digestion of

pastures/hay; increase milk production, help maintain body condition and appetite and result is

less feed waste. In addition, molasses can reduce the dusty powdery nature of some finely

ground feeds. In this role, it makes a feed mixture more palatable and edible to livestock.

Molasses is typically used as a binder in dry poultry diets, but its use as energy source has

also been investigated (Gohl, 1982).

Objectives of the Study

Generally, the study aimed to evaluate the effect of the formulated feedstuffs using

Peanut hull, (Puraria phaseoloides) Kudzu, Fish meal, Rice bran D1, Corn and Molasses on the

1. Effect of the formulated feedstuffs using Peanut hull, (Pueraria phaseoloides) Kudzu,

Fish meal, Rice bran D1, Corn and Molasses on the performance of broiler, in terms of

gain in weight, water consumption, feed consumption, feed conversion ratio and meat

and carcass quality.

2. Economic feasibility of using Peanut hull, (Pueraria phaseoloides) Kudzu, Fish meal,

Rice bran D1, Corn and Molasses as feedstuffs for broiler by computing the Return on

Investment (ROI) and Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR).

Significance of the Study

The study will be significant to the following:

1. Broiler chicken raiser: Help broiler raisers improve the growth quality of broilers

produced and help to reduce cost for commercial feeds and other feedstuffs as its cost is

unending increasing due to its high demand in the market.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

Feed formulation is the process of quantifying the amounts of feed ingredients that need

to be combined to form a single uniform mixture (diet) for poultry supplies all of their nutrient

requirements. Since feed accounts for 65-75% of total live production costs for most types of

poultry throughout the world, a simple mistake in diet formulation can be extremely expensive

for a poultry producer (Poultry Hub, 2018).

A complete diet meets the needs of an animal for nutrients and energy for maintenance,

growth and reproduction, and this must be kept in mind when feeds are being formulated for the

relate to the bioavailability of a feed may depend not only on its chemical composition but also

on the sensitivity of the animal towards its components. Even when readily accepted,

nutritionally balanced feeds have been formulated, their physical qualities may have important

influences upon stability and nutrient bioavailability according to Houlihan D, Boujarf T, Jobling

M (2001).

RELATED LITERATURE

Poultry farming means ‘raising various types of domestic birds commercially for the

purpose of meat, eggs and feather production’. The most common and widely raised poultry

birds are chicken. About 5k million chickens are being raised every year as a source of food

(both meat and eggs of chicken). The chickens which are raised for eggs are called layer chicken,

7
Broiler Feed Ration Formulation Using Peanut Hull, Fish Meal,
Kudzu, Corn, Rice Bran D1 and Molasses

and the chickens which are raised for their meat production are called broiler chickens (Poultry

Farming, 2018).

As of July 01, 2017, the total chicken inventory in the country was estimated at 181.05

million birds. This went up by 3.73 percent compared with the previous year’s total inventory.

The inventory of layer and native/improved chickens recorded respective increases of 9.80

percent. Meanwhile, broiler chicken inventory declined by 1.24 percent compared with the

previous year’s stocks (PSA, 2017). In broiler production, reducing feed costs can lead to

improved production efficiency and profitability, that’s why many researchers focused their

attention on how to reduce feed cost. The use of locally or indigenous materials as feed added to

commercial feeds for broiler ration may be one solution to lower feed cost.

Peanut Hull

Peanut shell remains an agricultural waste problem in peanut producing countries.

According to Chids and Abajian (1976), dried ground peanut hulls were found to contain 34.56

lignin, 39.42% cellulose, 73.98% acid detergent fiber and 86.16% neutral detergent fiber. The

hulls bound 2-3g HOH/g sample, exchanged 1.55 meq cations/g sample and bounds 2.28 + 0.87

uM sodium taurocholate/ 100 mg sample.

In addition, the National Peanut Board (2011), breaks down peanut shell content as

follows: 60% crude fiber, 25% cellulose, 8% water/moisture, 6% crude protein, 2% ash and 1%

fat. They said that, the composition differs based on peanut varieties and manufacturing

environments. Other than dietary fiber, peanut shells offer virtually no nutritional value.

8

Tropical kudzu

According to Heuze, Tran, Hassoun, Bastianelli and Lebas (2017), tropical kudzu, like

most legume forages, is rich in protein (about 20% DM, ranging from 13 to 25%). However, its

fiber content is very high (crude fiber 26 to 40%), which tends to be detrimental for animal

feeding.

In addition, according to Dirven (1965) tropical kudzu contained on average crude

protein 18.3, fiber 37.9, ash 6.6, K 2.09, Na 0.02, Ca 0.72, Mg 0.36, P 0.24, Cl 0.33 and S 0.20%

of dry matter. The protein level is sufficient to permit the daily yield of 10 kg milk, 4% fat, from

a 400 kg cow, but the high fiber content would prevent high yields. K and Ca were high and Na,

Cl and S were low compared with levels in indigenous grasses on the same soil. The mineral

composition was considered favorable.

Fish Meal

According to Jacob (2015), fish meal is an excellent source of protein for poultry. It has

high levels of essential amino acids such as methionine and lysine and it also has a good balance

of unsaturated fatty acids, certain minerals (available phosphorus), and vitamins (A, D, and B-

complex). The use of fish meal is usually restricted to 5% to 10% of the content of poultry diets.

In addition, according to Sauvant et al., (2004), fish meal has a high crude protein content

ranging from 62% to more than 70% while Medale et al., (2009) added that fish meal also have a

high amino acid quality.

The article (Fishmeal in Animal Feed), stated that, the fat will generally improve the

balance of fatty acids in the feed to restore the ratio of omega-6: omega3: forms towards 5:1,

9
Broiler Feed Ration Formulation Using Peanut Hull, Fish Meal,
Kudzu, Corn, Rice Bran D1 and Molasses

which is believed to be optimum; in the fat in many diets currently this ratio is considerably

higher. With the optimum ratio and omega-3 fatty acids provided ass DHA and EPA, general

health of the animal is improved, especially where there is to be less dependence on routine

medication. A dietary source of DHA and EPA results in their deposition in animal products.

This in turn will help to balance omega-6: omega-3 ratios in the human diets and provide pre-

formed DHA and EPA required for infant development and for prevention of numerous disorders

of the circulatory system, the immune system and to reduce inflammatory conditions. In

addition, fish meal is a concentrated energy source. With 70% to 80% of the product in the form

of digestible protein and fat its energy content is higher than of many other proteins.

Rice Bran D1

According to Jacob (2013), rice bran is rich in protein and fat. It contains high levels of

the B-vitamins, vitamin E, and some trace minerals.

Batal and Dale (2010) give the nutrient content of rice bran which include crude protein

(13.5%), Methionine (0.17%), Cysteine ( 0.10%), Lysine (0.50%), Trytophan (0.10%), and

Threonine (0.40%), crude fat at (5.9%), crude fiber (13%), while ash content is at (11%),

Calcium at (0.10%), total phosphorus is at (1.70%) and non-phytate phosphorus is (0.24%).

Corn

According to Jacob (2015), corn is the easiest grain for chickens to digest and is low in

fiber. Yellow dent corn is the variety typically used in feed. Nutrient content of ground corn

varies from variety to variety, location to location, and year to year, but recent averages suggest

that corn has about 1520 kcal/lb. (3350 kcal/kg.) of energy for poultry. It has also, on average

10
Broiler Feed Ration Formulation Using Peanut Hull, Fish Meal,
Kudzu, Corn, Rice Bran D1 and Molasses

7.5% crude protein. Corn protein is low in methionine. In addition, much of the phosphorus corn

grain is bound to phytate and is not readily available to birds. Birds do not produce sufficient

phytase, which is the enzyme required to break down phytate and release the bound phosphorus.

Phosphorus availability can be increased by the addition of the enzyme phytase to feed. Another

option is to feed poultry low-phytate corn varieties (also-referred to as high available phosphorus

or HAP corn), which will reduce the need for supplemental phosphorus in poultry diets.

Yellow maize has higher vitamin A content than white maize. Vitamin A deficiency is of

little importance in ruminants but it may have deleterious effects in pigs and poultry if not

adequately supplemented with source of Vitamin A. Yellow maize is best for monogastric

animals said; Piccioni (1965).

Molasses

Molasses usually fed to animals is a liquid viscous product containing 70-75% DM. From

a nutritional point of view, it is primarily source of energy, due to its high sugar content (60-70%

DM), also the proportion of the non-sugar fraction increases from A to C molasses according to

Perez (1995). Leclerc (2003) stated; that in cane molasses, only 2/3 of the sugar content consists

of sucrose, unlike beet molasses where the sugar is mostly sucrose. Perez (1997); Le Dividich et

al (1978) added that molasses is free of fat and fiber with low nitrogen content and the crude

protein equivalent is about 6% , half of which is non-protein N.

In addition, Blair (2007), sugarcane molasses is a rich source of minerals. The calcium

content is quite high (about 0.9% DM) due to the addition of calcium hydroxide during

processing. Cane molasses is also high in sodium, potassium and magnesium and contains

11
Broiler Feed Ration Formulation Using Peanut Hull, Fish Meal,
Kudzu, Corn, Rice Bran D1 and Molasses

significant quantities of copper, zinc, iron and manganese. However, its poor in phosphorus (less

than 0.1% DM) and supplementation may be required. Molasses can be a good source of

vitamins such as pantothenic acid, choline and niacin.

Leclerc (2003); Ly (1989) added, that the non-sugar fraction also contains soluble gums,

organic acids (citric, malic) and unidentified compounds originating from different chemicals

(electrolytes, formaldehyde, sulphur dioxide, hypochlorite, sodium bisulphite and also tension-

active compounds) added during the process of sugar extraction.

RELATED STUDIES

Peanut Hull

Peanut hulls have been successfully used by broiler growers in some parts of the country

in United States, where peanuts are grown, according to Jacob (2015).

According to Hill, (2002) in the article (Peanut by products fed to cattle), peanut hulls are

effectively used as a roughage source at levels up to 20% of beef finishing diets, for bedding in

dairy cattle loafing sheds and in variety of manufactured products. Peanut hulls are economically

priced because of their quantity, their inherent high fiber, and low CP content, and they should

not be fed as primary feedstuffs for beef cattle.

Crandell K, Ph.D. a senior nutritionist at Kentucky Equine Research (2015) stated that

the results investigated by many researchers about peanut hull as an ingredient in horse feeds

have proven disappointing. Nutritional analysis conducted by Nutrient Requirements of Horses

and published by the National Research Council (2015), peanut hull reveals low levels of

12
Broiler Feed Ration Formulation Using Peanut Hull, Fish Meal,
Kudzu, Corn, Rice Bran D1 and Molasses

protein, fat and minerals and virtually no vitamins whatsoever. Peanut hulls are rich in fiber, a

dietary component that all horses require. Fiber is mostly indigestible to horses. Average

statistics from multiple samples showed neutral detergent fiber (NDF) as 69% and acid detergent

fiber (ADF) as 60%. And among equine nutritionists and some feed manufacturers, peanut hulls

are considered filler and it does not appropriate to horses because of almost entirely empty of

useful nutrients. In addition, Crandell said, that peanut hulls are contaminated with aflatoxins,

which are poisonous to horses.

According to Lien et al. (1998), peanut hulls do not have any nutritive value for poultry.

They can only be used as bedding material, as an alternative to wood shavings. In addition,

ICRISAT (2016) said that, for poultry and livestock, aflatoxins can cause loss of appetite, loss of

weight, reduced egg production, and contamination of milk.

Tropical Kudzu (Pueraria phaseoloides)

According to Nworgu et al. (2013), tropical kudzu leaves are rich in fiber and hence not

particularly adapted to poultry feeding. When tropical kudzu leaf meal was in added to broiler

diets, growth performance decreased significantly and feed conversion was degraded. Also

depressive effect was higher in young animals and with increasingly levels of kudzu. In addition,

according to Zambrano et al. (2015), in slow growing chickens, feed intake and growth

performance were depressed when 5 to 10% tropical kudzu leaf meal was included. Etela et al.

(2007) stated that when tropical kudzu was fed as green forage in supplement of a complete diet,

tropical kudzu had a slight negative effect on growth and feed efficiency.

13
Broiler Feed Ration Formulation Using Peanut Hull, Fish Meal,
Kudzu, Corn, Rice Bran D1 and Molasses

In rabbit, feeding fresh Pueraria phaseoloides forage can be used without restriction as a

source of fiber and protein. However, topical kudzu protein cover only ~65% and ~75% of the

requirement for sulfur-containing amino acids and lysine respectively, and only 80% and 50%

of calcium and phosphorus requirements according to Lebas et al. (2013). The precise nutritive

value of tropical kudzu hay has not been established yet, but this dry forage could certainly be

used as a good source of fiber.

Fish Meal

Considerable data have been accumulated concerning the value of fish meal as an

ingredient for broiler diets.

According to Blair and Chadd (2008), fish meal is an interesting concentrated protein

source for poultry, particularly in situations where land animal-by-products have been banned in

poultry feeds. Fish meal has a higher biological value in poultry, not only as a protein source but

also as source of minerals, such as P and Ca, and trace elements such Se or I. However, the high

prices of fish meal limit the inclusion levels and those remain around or below 5%. Blair (2008)

added that including fish meal in broiler diets increases body weight and feed intake. Fish meal

has greater impact on growing broilers than on starters. It is highly valuable to young turkeys. In

laying hens and broilers, inclusion of fish meal may cause a fishy taste in eggs and meats.

Advisory Committee on Animal Feeding stuffs (ACAF) (2001) stated that, it is argued

that ruminant animals are herbivores and do not naturally consume animal or fish material.

Nevertheless, prior to the introduction of the temporary EU-wide ban, there was some usage of

fish meal in ruminant diets. For dairy cows, it is a good source of undegradable protein with a

14
Broiler Feed Ration Formulation Using Peanut Hull, Fish Meal,
Kudzu, Corn, Rice Bran D1 and Molasses

good balance of amino acids for milk production which is required for higher yields. In addition,

for sheep, research shown that the inclusion of fish meal can result in heavier lambs at birth,

therefore its use has welfare benefits to ewes and lambs.

Rice Bran D1

According to Widyobroto, (1989), the variability of rice bran, and in particular its fiber

content, has a very high effect on its nutritional value for poultry. In addition, rice ran has a high

lysine and methionine contents according to Tsvetanov et al. (1990), it has also a good Mn

availability at 65% said, Fialho et al. (1993); Halpine et al. (1986).

Rice bran is prone to rancidity, has a high phytate content, contains an enzyme inhibitor

(trypsin inhibitor), and is high in fiber, and these characteristics of rice bran have limited in

poultry diets according to Gallinger et al. (2004). A maximum of 10-20% is recommended in

broiler diets, depending on the geographical origin of the rice and the level of supplemental

enzymes used, stated by; Martin and Farrell, (1998).

Gallinger et al. (2004) reported that inclusion of 20% rice bran in broiler diets resulted in

reduced growth performance. In addition, adding just 10% rice bran reduced feed efficiency and

tibia ash content. Others have recommended like Martin and Farrell, (1998) that rice bran not be

include in diets of broilers less than 21 days of age.

Higher levels are possible with ducklings and laying hens said; Farrell, (1994). While

60% rice bran has been successfully used in layer diets, an upper limit of 45% is more widely

accepted, and the use of feed enzymes has had only limited success, although phytate has been

shown to increase phosphorus availability, added; Farrell, (1994). In addition, when including

15
Broiler Feed Ration Formulation Using Peanut Hull, Fish Meal,
Kudzu, Corn, Rice Bran D1 and Molasses

high levels of rice bran in duckling diets, the inclusion of 5% fish meal has been shown to

increase growth performance according to Martin et al., (1998).

Corn

Daghir (2008) stated that in poultry, maize is appreciated for its highly digestible starch,

low fiber and relatively high oil content, resulting in high metabolizable energy values. It is fed

at high levels in broilers and laying hens. In addition, white and yellow maize have equivalent

energy, protein and mineral values. Yellow maize is beneficial to yolk pigmentation because it

contains more carotene and cryptoxanthin.

Molasses

According to Preston (1986), it is important to distinguish between low and high level

usage of all types of molasses. At low levels (<20 percent of the diet dry matter), the effect of the

soluble carbohydrates in the molasses tends to be complementary rather than competitive and

there appears to be little or no depression in the degree to which the basal feed resource is

fermented. Beyond a concentration of 20% in the rumen microorganisms, with the result that the

basal diet is used less and less efficiently according to the amount of molasses that is fed.

Daley (2012) said; that molasses can be source of quick energy and an excellent source

of minerals for farm animals and even humans. Molasses can also be a key ingredient for cost

effective management of feeds and pastures. The calcium content of sugar cane molasses is high

(up to one percent), whereas phosphorus content is low. It is also high in sodium, potassium,

magnesium, and sulphur. In addition, supplementing poor quality hay molasses will increase fed

intake and improve palatability. Microbes in the rumen break down the sugars in molasses

16
Broiler Feed Ration Formulation Using Peanut Hull, Fish Meal,
Kudzu, Corn, Rice Bran D1 and Molasses

rapidly, which extensively causes rapid release of energy that makes molasses very useful for

balancing other feeds in the dairy diet. In addition, feeding molasses to farm animals will

improve digestion of pastures/hay; increase milk production, help maintain body condition and

appetite and result in feed waste.

According to Gohl (1982), molasses is typically used as a binder in dry poultry diets, but

its use as an energy source has also been investigated. Poultry, particularly geese and ducks, can

be fattened on liquid diets containing up to 60% DM of molasses.

Early research showed that sugarcane molasses could be used up to more than 30% in

broiler diets. However, high levels of molasses tend to cause sticky droppings and caked litter

according to Roseberg (1995). In addition, molasses is suggested at a high level for laying hens,

said Soldevila et al. (1976), while Sharma et al. (1973) said that, feeding molasses to laying hens

will decreased the feed efficiency at 30%.

Time and Place of the Study

This study was conducted its first trial from December 29, 2017 to February 02, 2018 and

from February 10, 2018 to March 17, 2018 conducted its second trial respectfully at Sitio Bacod,

Barangay Zaragoza, Bolinao, Pangasinan.

PREPARATION OF FEED INGREDIENTS

Preparation of Peanut Hull and (P. phaseoloides) Kudzu

Peanut Hull and (Pueraria phaseoloides) kudzu were collected. The collected peanut hull

and kudzu were washed thoroughly to remove dirt such as sands and other matters that could

affect the quality of the feeds. After washing, the peanut hull and kudzu were being dry through

air to prevent volatilization of nitrogen and other nutrients present from the plant (the said

materials were being weighed every other day and if the weight were constant for three

19
Broiler Feed Ration Formulation Using Peanut Hull, Fish Meal,
Kudzu, Corn, Rice Bran D1 and Molasses

consecutive weighing, it is already dried). After drying, peanut hull and kudzu were being passed

to DA Sual Satellite Station for grinding.

Preparation of Fish Meal

Tilapia, other small fishes and waste or by-products of different fish were been collected

and then washed. Then, all the collected and gathered cleaned raw products were dried. After

drying, fish by-products & waste, tilapia and other small fishes were cooked by frying without

using any kind of oil. Then after cooking, it will be passed also to DA Sual Satellite Station for

grinding.

Other Feed Ingredients

The remaining feed ingredients- molasses, ground yellow corn and rice bran d1 were

purchased from a reliable dealer to ensure the quality and reliability of materials.

PREPARATION OF FEED STUFF

Prepare all the needed ingredients, the feed stuff ingredients and other materials. Ground

peanut hull, ground kudzu, fish meal, ground yellow corn, rice bran d1, molasses and palm oil.

Weighing scale and mat is also needed. If all needed ingredients and materials are already

prepared, prepare the mat for mixing all the things needed. Weigh every ingredients based from

the computed feed formulation. Every ingredient that is solid will be place on the mat one by one

and mixed thoroughly then pour 1 liter of palm oil and the weighed molasses which is 5 liters.

After pouring palm oil and molasses, it will be mixed again thoroughly. And finally, after mixing

it well, it will be packed in sacks and ready to be fed to the broiler chickens. The feedstuff

Preparation of Brooder and Experimental House. Prior to the start of the study, the

brooder and experimental house and all other facilities and equipment’s needed in the conduct

of the study were thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to eliminate the disease-causing organisms.

Electric bulbs were installed at center of the each brooder and turned on during day and night to

keep them warm and provide the sufficient heat requirements of chicks and encourage eating.

Procurements of Stocks. The experimental broiler chicks were purchased from a

reputable dealer to ensure the health and vigor of the birds. The chicks were inspected for any

deformities and health problems such as lameness, crooked legs and beaks, pasty vents and

unhealed navels. Feeds and other necessary materials were also purchased to a reputable and

reliable dealer to ensure the reliability of the materials.

Care and Management of the Experimental Birds during Brooding Period. Upon the

arrival, the broiler chicks were placed in the brooding cages with old newspapers as beddings to

avoid damage to the feet and legs of the chicks and as insulator. Drinking troughs containing

fresh water mixed with sugar was immediately placed in the brooder to relieve the chicks from

stress due to transport. The chick booster feed were scattered on the newspaper beddings for the

21

Kudzu, Corn, Rice Bran D1 and Molasses

chicks could easily pick-up it. On the following days, floor feeding was gradually reduced.

Water supply fortified with drink supplement was provided during the entire brooding period for

the broiler chicks. Wet newspaper bedding are removed and replaced with new ones to prevent

the chicks from getting wet and soiled which might cause pulmonary infection. Chick booster

feeds was given alone, as adjustment period throughout the brooding period and ad libitum

feeding was employed. The chicks in fourteenth day of life were randomly selected, a total of 90

broiler chicks-up from the original 110 chicks and distributed into three dietary treatments. And

the weight obtained was recorded as the initial weight of the chicks.

Drink Management. The birds were provided with clean water every day. Vetracin was

mixed with water and administered every 2 weeks to protect the birds from pest and diseases.

Rearing Management. From the original one hundred ten (110) heads of chicks, ninety

(90) heads of chicks were randomly picked and were used in this study. Ninety (90) heads of

chicks were distributed into three (3) treatments, replicated three (3) times consisting of ten (10)

birds per replication with a floor space of

Feeding Management. After 14 days of brooding, the birds in T1 were assigned as

control (farmer’s practice), while the birds in T2 were given 50 % of the feedstuff made and 50%

of commercial feeds, T3 were given 100% of the feedstuff made. Gradual change of feeds was

applied.

Other Management Practices. Cleaning inside and outside of the experimental house

was done every day to avoid the occurrence of pest and diseases. Carbonized rice hull were

Cost and Return Analysis

Cost and Return Analysis for Different Treatments under Trial 1

The cost and return analysis of the different treatments under the two trials, Treatments 3

treated with a pure feed formulation using peanut hull, kudzu, fish meal, rice bran d1, corn and

molasses revealed that it did not reduced the cost of production, as observed treatments 3 did not

perform well compared with Treatment 1 which utilized by commercial feeds. In terms of Return

of Investment (ROI) and Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR), Treatment 3 showed lowest result, followed

by Treatment 2 while treatment 1 treated with commercial feeds registered the highest ROI and

BCR. This means that the feed formulation did not enhance the growth performance of the

broiler which leads into lower profit compared with Treatment that treated with commercials

feeds.

Therefore, feed formulation using peanut hull, kudzu, fish meal, rice bran d1, corn and

molasses can be an alternative feeds substitute to commercial feeds but it can’t increases the

profitability of broiler production. Treatment 3 got the lowest Return on Investments (ROI) of –

(2.41% under Trial 1 and -31.87% under trial 2) and Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR) of (2.51% under

Trial 1 and -33.08% under Trial 2) as compared to farmer’s practice. One factor, is due to the

feed formulation quality, type and texture, the feeds being formulated is dusty and mash it will

lead to increased feed wastage, reduced feed intake and reduced growth rate, increased time

spent at the feeder that result in an increased amount of energy spent on feeding thus reducing

the energy available for growth and incomplete or inefficient digestion of the feed, this factor

could affect the growth performance of the broiler that leads in lower weights of the birds and

result to lower profitability. Another factor of getting a low profit is the excess inclusion of

tropical kudzu which affects the growth performance of birds and slows down the growth of the

broiler.

SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

SUMMARY

This study “Broiler Feed Ration Formulation Using Peanut Hull, Kudzu, Fish meal, Corn,

Rice bran D1 and Molasses” was conducted to evaluate the effect of feed formulation using

locally available materials on the performance of broiler in terms of gain in weight, water

consumption, feed consumption, and feed conversion efficiency. This was conducted at

Barangay Zaragoza, Sitio Bcaod, Bolinao, Pangasinan from December 29, 2017 to February 02,

2018 its first trial and from February 10, 2018 to March 17, 2018 conducted its second trial

respectfully.

Ninety heads of chicks were used in this study and were randomly distributed into 3

treatments and being replicated three times, each replication was consist of 10 birds using

random numbers in Randomized Complete Block Design (BCBD). The treatments used were as

follows:

Treatment 1: Farmer’s practice (control)

Treatment 2: 50% commercial feeds and 50% of Peanut hull, Kudzu, Fish meal, Corn, Molasses,

and Rice bran D1

47

Treatment 3: 100% Peanut hull, Kudzu, Fish meal, Corn, Molasses, and Rice bran D1

Findings

The following are the findings of the study:

1. Using feed formulation using peanut hull, kudzu, fish meal, corn, rice bran d1, and

molasses did not significant affect the performance of broiler in terms of mean initial

weight and mean feed intake, while mean liquid intake, mean feed conversion efficiency,

mean total gain, mean gain 3, mean gain 2, mean gain 1, mean week 1 and 2 weight and

mean final weight were significantly affect the broilers. In analysis and interpretation

under the comparison of different treatments regardless of the trials, it revealed that the

performance of the broiler treated with 100% feed formulated is incomparable to the

raised in farmer’s practice and raised to the 50% feed formulated and 50% commercial

feeds.

2. Broiler treated with 100% feed formulated gave the lowest Return on Investments (ROI)

and Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR) than those treated with commercial feeds.

3. Environmental condition is one factor that could affect the birds in terms of growth

performance. As observed, birds under trial 1 which conducted in cooler environmental

condition were performed better compared to trial 2 which conducted in hotter

environmental condition.

48

4. Quality of the feeds also affects the broiler, a poor quality of feeds given to broiler will

lead to a of increased feed wastage, reduced feed intake and reduced growth rate,

increased time spent at the feeder that result in an increased amount of energy spent on

feeding thus reducing the energy available for growth and incomplete or inefficient

digestion of the feed.

5. Having excessive fiber content of the feeds can adversely affects the body weight gain of

the broiler.

6. Too much inclusion rate of tropical kudzu can significantly decrease the growth

performance of the broiler and feed conversion can also degrade. (5% to 10% is the

recommended inclusion rate).

CONCLUSION

Based on the findings of the study this conclusion was formulated:

1. Feed formulation using peanut hull, kudzu, fish meal, corn, rice bran d1, and molasses

has incomparable effect with commercial feeds on the growth performance of broiler in

terms of mean initial weight and mean feed intake, while it have a comparable effects in

terms of mean liquid intake, mean feed conversion efficiency, mean total gain, mean gain

3, mean gain 2, mean gain 1, mean week 1 and 2 weight and mean final weight.

2. Using feed formulation using peanut hull, kudzu, fish meal, corn, rice bran d1, and

molasses can’t reduce the cost of production wherein broiler could not achieve the

growth and performance and gave a lower Return on Investments (ROI) and Benefit Cost

Ratio (BCR) compared to farmer’s practice.

3. Different factors could affect the growth performance of the broilers. Samples of these

factors are environmental condition and feed quality, type and texture. Like Having

excessive fiber content of the feeds can adversely affects the body weight gain of the

broiler and too much inclusion rate of tropical kudzu can significantly decrease the

growth performance of the broiler and feed conversion can also degrade. (5% to 10% is

the recommended inclusion rate).

RECOMMENDATIONS

The researchers recommend a proper selection and formulation of locally and

indigenous feeds materials used in formulating a feeds for broiler ration. Proper inclusion

rate of the different feed materials is also recommend and is very important to familiarize

the feed materials being used. It is further recommended to re-study this study for some

improvements and to improved its profitability as it is proved that farmer’s practice is

more profitable.
