Abstract

The profitability of any chicken industry can always be correlated with increasing production. In the Philippines, as of the first quarter of 2022, poultry production had expanded by 12.3% because Filipino’s diet relies heavily on meat, thus placing livestock and poultry among essential segments of the country’s agriculture. The study aims to determine the level of mungbean sprouts that can complement the commercial feeds, which can ultimately improve the weekly body gain weight (WBGW) of broiler chickens and low feed conversion ratio (FCR). The study used the standard Complete Randomized Design (CRD) with four treatments and three replications. The mung beans were prepared in advance, taking care every day. The sprouting period of mung beans took about a week. Significant differences were revealed among treatments. Analysis of Variance implied that broiler chickens whose feed ration was complemented with 15% of mungbean sprouts had the highest WBGW of 546,67 grams and the lowest FCR of 1.74 at 28 days, respectively.  The study recommends mixing 15% mungbean sprouts into the feed ration of broiler chickens for up to 28 days to improve the weight gain.

Abstract

Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum, L.) is a perennial plant in the Poaceae family.  It is considered an important crop because it has the capacity to produce sucrose, accounting for up to 50% of the dry weight of a mature stalk.  In the Philippines, the sugarcane industry is one of the major dollar income industries. The study aims to determine the different sugarcane characteristics preferred by the farmers to plant and their relation to the volume of production in the Philippines. The descriptive-correlation method was employed in the study. The instrument used was the validated survey questionnaire used by the group of Oñal in their study in 2021. The 320 sugarcane farmers were randomly identified at the seven locations in the Visayas area of the Philippines. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) implied that there’s a significant difference in the production of sugarcane among the different locations in the Philippines. On sugarcane characteristics, the color of the stalks, stalk growth morphology, and the number of millable stalks at harvest implied a significant difference in production.  The stalk color and number of millable stalks at harvest were strongly correlated with the volume of production. The studyrevealed that in the characterization of sugarcane varieties in the Philippines, the stalk color and number of millable stalks should be given an impetus before releasing the varieties to farmers. The results of the study will enhance the government's average national target of production to 75 tons/ha and sustain the Philippine sugar industry.
