THE EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT LEVELS OF CHAYOTE (Sechium edule)JUICE ON THE GROWTH PERFORMANCE OF COBB BROILERS

The effects of different levels of Chayote Juice on the growth performance of Cobb broilers at Poultry project of the College of Agriculture, MSU-GENSAN on October 25 to November 28,2016. An experiment set in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four treatments: T1-Control(100%water), T2-50 ml, T3-100 ml and T4-150ml chayote juice in water ration replicated three times. Birds in 15% CJ consumed the highest amount of 2.68 kg/bird of feed and the lowest is at 10% CJ with 2.60 kg/bird. In water consumption, birds in treatment 3 have the highest water consumption of 18.88 L/bird. The lowest is in Treatment 1 with 17.69 L/bird. Treatment 2 got the highest Live Weight Gain of 1.71 kg/bird and 1.57 kg/bird is the lowest in Treatment 1. On the economic analysis, The Chayote Juice of T2 with 5% obtained the highest (Php. 98.19/bird) followed by T1 (Php. 90.22). Those birds in T3 with 10% CJ got Php. 42.29/bird and T4 with 15% CJ got an income of Php. -22.02. Statistical analysis revealed to be not significant on feed and water consumption and feed conversion efficiency. However on live weight gain it is significant.
