Terminal Report (BS Arg (An Sci) - Mariano Marcos State University EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FONTANILLA, ANGELIKA S. 2019. Supervised Farming on Broiler Production Using Guava (Psidium guajava L.) Leaf Decoction as Water Additive. Supervised Farming Program. College of Agriculture. Food and Sustainable Development. Mariano Marcos State University, City of Batac 2906 Ilocos Norte. 40pp. Adviser: Mr. Sean R. Vidad This supervised farming on broiler production was implemented to validate the profitability of backyard broiler production using guava leaf decoction (GLD) as water additive. Specifically, the project aimed to generate data on growth and production parameters, assess the cost and return of backyard broiler raising, and generate income for the student-entrepreneur, The project was implemented at Brgy. No. 24 Sumader, City of Batac, Ilocos Norte on February 4, 2019 to April 8, 2019. The project consisted of two overlapping growing cycles which lasted for 64 days. Each cycle has maximum loading capacity of 100 heads of straight run broilers. The package of technology followed include the supplementation of GLD claimed to have beneficial effects on the overall health performance of broilers and subsequently the growth performance and the rearing management activities based from the Philippine Recommends for Broiler Production. Production parameters were measured to evaluate the profitability of the project. The recorded average final daily gain and total gain in weight were 1.9 kg and 1.75 kg, 0.058 kg and 0.053 kg and 1.86 kg and 1.7 kg for cycles 1 and 2, respectively. On the other hand, the feed consumption, feed conversion ratio and feed cost /kg gain recorded were 2.42 kg and 2.24 kg, 1.32 and 1.30 kg and 68.63 pesos and 63.61 pesos, respectively. The total harvest weight of the birds recorded were 180 kg and 170 kg while the total harvest recovery recorded were 98% and 97% for cycles 1 and 2, respectively. Three (3) and two (2) percent mortality were recorded for the first and second cycles and still within the acceptable limit. In terms of financial performance of the project, 22,619.73 pesos was generated as net income with a return on investment of 81.62% percent for both cycles. On the other hand, the breakeven yield and break-even price recorded were 101.86 kg and 96.20 kg and 145.51 pesos and 138.85 pesos for cycles one (1) and two (2), respectively. Lastly, the skills related to broiler production enhanced by the student- entrepreneur include: designing and constructing cages, brooding, feeding management, manure handling and efficient marketing. Likewise, values developed were resourcefulness, patience, and being a keen observer. ddc PTER 16455 16455 0 0 ddc 0 0 MMSU_MAIN MMSU_MAIN 2021-09-27 5531 5531-UThesis 2021-09-27 2021-09-27 PTER
