Giant Floater (Pyganodon Grandis) as Feed Ingredient in Broiler Production
Journal Title: International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Analysis - Year 2023, Vol 6, Issue 04
Abstract
The focus of the research was to determine how giant floater (Pyganodon grandis) worked as a feed ingredient in broiler production. A total of 120 one-day-old Cobbs 500 were reared for 42 days, regardless of sex. The chicks were weighed and brooded for 14 days. The chicks were weighed and distributed at random on the fourteenth day for four treatments with three replications, each containing ten chicks. They were given varied proportions of giant floater meal as a feed ingredient. Treatment 1 was simply home mixed; treatment 2 had a 3% addition of giant floater meal; treatment 3 had a 6% inclusion of giant floater meal; and treatment 4 had a 9% inclusion. The supplementation of giant floater meal as a feed ingredient for broilers had a significant effect on the broilers' weekly body weight gain. Broiler-fed diets containing a higher percentage of inclusion gained the most weight as compared to broiler-fed diets containing a lower percentage of giant floater meal or diets containing no giant floater meal. In terms of broiler feed consumption, the results showed that broilers fed with 9% (T4) and 6% (T3) giant floater meal had higher feed intake than broilers fed with 3% (T2) giant floater meal, and the least feed intake was found in the control group. The result of this study shows that using giant floater meat as a feed ingredient for broilers improves their development and production performance in terms of body weight gain and that it can be used as a replacement and/or supplementary source of protein in broiler feeds.
