A study on “The Effects of Different Levels of Fermented Waste Cabbage ( Brassica oleracea) Plant Juice Added to the Water Ration on the Growth Performance of Cobb broilers” was conducted at Mindanao State University-General Santos City Poultry Project from September 19 to October 24, 2019 to determine the performance of Cobb broilers in terms of feed consumption, weight gain, feed conversion ratio, water consumption and income over feed and chick cost. A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was used in the study with four treatments replicated three times. Birds in T1 were given with pure water, those in T2 were provided with 0.2% of FWCPJ while Birds in T3 were given 0.4% of FWCPJ added to water ration and those in T4 were given 0.6% of FWCPJ all added to the water ration. The study revealed that birds given with 0.6% of FWCPJ had the highest amount of water consumed compared to the rest of the treatments and it obtained the highest average live weight gained with 1.10 kg followed by the birds given with 0.4% of FWCPJ with 1.09 kg, then 0.2% of FWCPJ with 1.07 kg and lastly the control with 1.04 kg. However, the result shows that there was no significant relationship among the four treatments. No mortality was recorded. Birds provided with 0.4% of FWCPJ consumed the highest amount of feeds but in terms of efficiency in converting feeds, they were the least efficient (3.26) while those with 0.6 % of FWCPJ had (3.21) with pure water (3.25) and those in 0.2% of FWCPJ had (3.16). Birds given with 0.2 % of FWCPJ were the most efficient in terms of converting feeds to meat. However, statistical analysis revealed that there is no significant difference between treatments in all parameters. Birds supplemented with 0.2 % of FWCPJ had the highest IOFCC with Php 51.05 followed by those birds supplemented with 0.6 % of FWCPJ with an IOFCC of Php 49.04 followed by the control with Php 48.04 IOFFCC and lastly the 0.4 % IOFCC with Php 47.32 IOFCC. However, the statistical analysis shows that there is no significant difference between treatments in all parameters.
