Effects of dietary addition of waste django f1 hot chili pepper (Capsicum frutesceas) on the growth performance and weight of internal organs of class B broilers / Monte, Marc Aaron P. City of Batac : MMSU, 2024. xiv, 68 leaves : 29 cm. Thesis (BS in Agriculture major in Animal Science) -- Mariano Marcos State University-College of Agriculture, Food and Sustainable Development, Batac City Bibliography : leaves 37-39 The study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of waste-powdered Django F1chili pepper (Capsicum frutescens) (WPP) as dietary additive at the rate of 1.5, 2 and 2.5 g per kilogram of a corn-soya-based diet for class B Cobb broilers. Specifically, the study aimed to determine the feed consumption, gain in weight, feed conversion ratio, feed cost per kilogram gain, weight of internal organs, profitability and production efficiency factor (PEF) of broilers fed diets with and without WPP. The study was conducted at Sitio Sabi – Sabi East Brgy. 32, Palongpong, City of Batac, Ilocos Norte from October 4 to November 14, 2023. A total of 108 heads straight-run class B Cobb broilers were used and nine heads were assigned per treatment, replicated three times following the Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The feeding of the experimental diets was done after the brooding period. Growth performance, feed and economic-related parameters were gathered and calculated. Statistical analysis revealed that birds fed with corn-soya-based diets with and without different levels of WPP have similar final weight, gain weight, average daily gain, feed intake and feed conversion ratio. Similar observation on the weight of the internal organs of the experimental birds was recorded. Moreover, absence of statistical significance was also observed on economic related parameters such as performance efficiency factor, gross sales, net income and return on investment. The results of the study revealed that addition of WPP at low levels does not positively influence performance and economic parameters of raising class B Cobb broilers in corn-soya based diet. lcc THEDIS 24301 24301 0 0 lcc 0 0 MMSU_MAIN MMSU_MAIN THESES 2024-12-10 7490 0 UTHESIS-7490 2024-12-10 2024-12-10 THEDIS Room Use Only
