THE EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT LEVELS OF REJECT POLE SITAO(Vigna unguiculata sesquipedalis) MEAL ADDED TO COMMERCIAL RATION ON THE GROWTH PERFORMANCE OF COBB BROILERS

The study on the effects of different levels of reject pole sitao meal added to commercial ration to the growth performance of Cobb broilers was conducted at Mindanao State University, General Santos City from January 29 to March 05,2019 The study was laid out using Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four treatments (0, 5, 10, 15% PSM) replicated three times. The result showed that the feed consumption, live weight gained and feed conversion efficiency are statistically not significant. Birds fed with 5% PSM in the ration gained the highest live weight of 1.52 kg while those birds with 0, 10 and 15% PSM in the ration gained an average live weight gain of 1.51,1.49 and 1.45 kg, respectively. The most efficient in converting the feeds into live weight were the birds fed with 5% PSM in the ration requiring only 1.67 kg of feeds to gain a unit of live weight. The birds given 0, 10 and 15% PSM in the ration need 1.70,1.71 and 1.75 kg of feeds to gain a unit of live weight, respectively. Birds fed with 0 and 5% PSM in the ration had the highest feed consumption of 2.55 kg in 35 days while birds fed with 10 and 15% both consumed 2.54 kg of feeds in 35 days. Income analysis revealed that birds under T2 gave the highest IOFCC with Php 57.53,followed by birds in T1,T3 and T4 with an IOFCC of Php 57.53,Php 53.46 and Php 48.30, respectively.
