piper betle (Piper siriboa L.) leaf meal (PBLM) in a corn-soya based diet for Class B 
Cobb broiler chickens. Specifically, the study aimed to: determine the feed 
consumption, gain in weight, feed conversion ratio, feed cost per kilogram gain, weight 
of the internal organs, and profitability and performance efficiency factor (PEF) of 
broilers. The study was conducted at Sitio Sabi-Sabi East Brgy. 32, Palongpong, City 
of Batac, Ilocos Norte from October 4 to November 13, 2023.  A total of 12 cages, 
housing nine (9) heads of chicks, served as the experimental units and were randomly 
distributed to four treatments with three replications following the Completely 
Randomized Design (CRD).  The feeding of the experimental diets at 4 g, 8 g, and 12 
g per kilogram diet inclusion rate was done after the brooding stage.  
Statistical analysis revealed that birds fed with corn-soya-based diets without 
and with different levels of PBLM have similar weekly feed consumption and growth 
parameters on Class B Cobb broilers.  Likewise, the feed conversion ratio, performance 
efficiency factor, total sales, net income, return on investment and weight of the internal 
organs were not statistically affected by the addition of PBLM. However, numerically, 
birds fed with 12g PBLM had the highest gross income, net income and return on 
investment.  2lcccTHEDIS  c24303d24303  00102lcc4070aMMSU_MAINbMMSU_MAINcTHESESd2024-12-10i7488l0pUTHESIS-7488r2024-12-10w2024-12-10yTHEDISzRoom Use Only
