Productive performance of broiler chicken supplemented with different levels of fresh Guava leaves (Psidium guajava) and Mani-manian (Arachis pintoi) leaves Castillo, Jomar R.; Lagunday, Jovelyn M.; Huergula, Jerlin P. This study was conducted at Barangay Malonoy, Dumarao, Capiz from February 15 to April 30, 2022. Generally, it aimed to determine the growth performance of broiler chickens supplemented with different levels of combined fresh guava leaves and mani manian leaves. Specifically, it aimed to determine the effect of different levels of combined fresh guava leaves and mani-manian leaves in terms of feed consumption, gain in weight, and feed conversion ratio. The return above feed and the animal cost was also determined upon the termination of the study. The supplementation levels of combined fresh guava leave and mani-manian leaves were as follows: T1 - 0% (Control) Pure commercial feeds; T2 – 5 % combined fresh guava leaves and mani-manian leaves; T3 – 10% of combined fresh guava leaves and mani-manian leaves; and T4 – 15% of combined fresh guava leaves and mani-manian leaves. The results showed that feed consumption, gain in weight, and feed conversion ratio were not significantly affected by supplementing fresh guava leaves and mani-manian leaves in broiler chickens. The mean feed consumption result ranged from 3,912.57 g to 3,641.73 g, while the mean gain in weight ranged from 937.67 g to 858.40 g. The feed conversion ratio ranged from 4.12 to 4.53. The birds fed with 10% combined fresh guava leaves and mani-manian leaves + commercial feeds gave the highest return above feed and animal cost of Php 139.58

Abogona, Melenia V.; Factor, Carlo Ed A.; Frac, Jerome Emman M.; Raymundo, Leo Berlyn S. This research was conducted in Barangay Janguslob Dumarao, Capiz from February to May 2022. This study aimed to determine the productive performance and egg quality of Coturnix japonica (Japanese quail) fed with different levels of purslane (Portulaca oleracea) leaves and oyster shell (Magallana bilineata) powder in terms of feed consumption, gain in weight, feed conversion ratio (FCR), and return above feed and animal cost. In addition, it aimed to determine the production and quality of quail eggs in terms of egg production, egg weight, and shell thickness. The supplementation levels of oyster shell powder and fresh purslane leaves were allocated to the following treatments: T1 – 0% (Control); T2 - .5% oyster shell powder (OSP) and .5% of fresh purslane leaves (FPL); T3- 1% of oyster shell powder (OSP) and 1% of fresh purslane leaves (FPL); and T4 - 1.5% of oyster shell powder (OSP) and 1.5% of fresh purslane leaves (FPL). Sixty heads of day-old quails were used and randomly distributed in (treatment) 12 experimental units arranged in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The result of the study revealed that the mean feed consumption, gain in weight and feed conversion ratio, egg production, and egg weight were not significantly affected by different levels of oyster shell powder and fresh purslane leaves (p > 0.05). However, the egg shell thickness was significantly affected with different levels of oyster shell powder and fresh purslane leaves (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the return above feed and animal cost was realized by feeding the birds with .5% oyster shell powder and .5% fresh purslane leaves and 99% commercial feeds with a net profit of Php 881.60. This study indicates that the successful quality of quail eggs was obtained from birds fed with .5% oyster shell powder and .5% fresh purslane leaves and 99% commercial feeds.
