Abstract

The study was conducted to determine the effects on the growth performance and immune response of free-range chicken supplemented with different levels of spirulina in their diet. Sixty free range chicken, fifteen day-olds, were used in the study which were randomly distributed in four treatments, three replicates in each treatment with five experimental birds in each replicate. Treatment 1- Control (pure commercial feeds); Treatment 2- 4% spirulina supplemented in commercial feeds; Treatment 3 -5% spirulina supplemented in commercial feeds and Treatment 4 – 6% spirulina supplemented in commercial feeds. Initial and final weight reveal that they are replicate significantly different among the four treatments whereas Average Daily Gain and Feed Conversion Ratio showed no significant differences among treatments, however, Treatment 4 exhibited efficiency in feed conversion and has the highest gain in weight among treatments. In hemagglutination Inhibition test, all treatments responded positive in immune response.

Abstract

This study was conducted to produce an herbal shampoo using the extracts of citronella grass, lemongrass, and mixed of both grasses. It was conducted to find out which among the produced herbal shampoos was the effective against red mites of native chicken and their time observed to kill mites. In addition, it was conducted to determine the cost analysis of using the different grasses as a shampoo. Sixty laying native chickens naturally infested with mites were used in the study the chickens were grouped randomly and distributed to five (5) treatments. Herbal shampoos were prepared before bathing the native chickens; the bathing process was begun and lasted for four (4) weeks with seven (7) days interval. Over all the positive control or the commercial shampoo Wash Out Intense® was the most effective among all other treatments with 92.83% efficacy. The notable efficacy of the commercial shampoo was followed by the herbal shampoo produced which was the citronella shampoo then the lemonella shampoo followed by lemongrass shampoo, with 76.14%, 71.14%, and 68.80% efficacy respectively. The treatment that shows the lowest observed time to kill mites was the positive control (Wash Out Intense®) which consist the effective components to kill mites, it was then followed by T3 the citronella shampoo, T5 the lemonella shampoo and lasty T4 the lemongrass shampoo. Lastly the cost analysis of making shampoo using citronella, lemongrass and mixed of both grasses’ extracts revealed that were less economical than the commercial shampoo available.

Abstract

Poultry is the fastest growing component and one of the most efficient and effective means of food supply to the society in the form of meat and egg. Parasitic infections lead to low productivity and increased mortality in poultry. A total of forty-five (45) apparently healthy Philippine native chickens, regardless of sex and weight, ranging from 4-6 months of age, were randomly distributed in five (5) treatments. Each treatment was replicated thrice with three (3) birds per replication following the Completely Randomized Design (CRD). Simple Test Tube Flotation was used to establish which parasite groups are present in the fecal samples. The McMaster technique was also used as a counting chamber which enables a known volume (2 x 0.15 ml) of fecal suspension to be examined microscopically. The number of eggs per gram was calculated by counting the number of eggs within the grid of each chamber which gave the data on eggs per gram (EPG) of feces. The results revealed in T4 (1ml) slender carpet weed extract and T5 (1.5ml) have anthelmintic potentials when used in native chickens. Thus, slender carpet weed extract is an effective deworming agent. Slender carpet weed extract is effective in lowering the egg per gram of intestinal parasites found in native chickens. The optimum volume to ensure effectivity is 1.5 ml which revealed the strongest effect in reducing intestinal worms.
