Title:
DIGESTIBILITY, GROWTH PERFORMANCE AND CARCASS QUALITY OF

BROILER CHICKEN (Gallus gallus Domesticus) FED WITH COMMERCIAL RATION
SUPPLEMENTED WITH DIFFERENT LEVELS OF GOLDEN APPLE SNAIL (
Pomacea canaliculata)
Proponent: DANIEL J. BALDOZ JR.,
Rationale:
Chickens are an important domestic fowl worldwide, especially for nutritious flesh
as a source of food. There are two kinds of crossbred chickens compared to local
chickens is that their productive age is shorter; only 30 days are needed to reach 1.25
kg as opposed to 4 to 5 months for local chickens (Unang, 2003).
The golden apple snail, popularly known as "golden kuhol" [Pomacea

canaliculata Lamarck], was introduced into the Philippines between 1982 and 1984. It
came from South America (Brazil and Argentina) via Taiwan. However, a few years
after its introduction, the golden apple snail became a major pest of rice.Its high nutritive
value as food for human beings and farm animals generated interest among both public
and private sectors to propagate the production of this organism. Soybean meal is the
most common source of protein for all poultry animals, However the utilization of this
golden apple snails meat will be a good source of protein having a Nutritive value of
12.2 grams protein per 100 grams of golden ‘’kuhol’’flesh meat and it can help rice
farmers in there income and to minimize the use of mulluscicides in the rice fields.
Objectives:
To determine the growth performance of broiler chicken ( Gallus gallus
domesticus) as affected by ground dried snails meat incorporated on the diet.
Specific objectives:
a) To determine the effectiveness of snails meat on the growth of broiler chicken
in terms of weight gain, final weight, within a short period of time as affected
by ground dried golden apple snails meat on the diet.
b) To determine which levels of ground dried snails meat will give the best result
c) To determine the digestibility of the broiler chicken by digestibility trial.
d) To evaluate the hedonic test of the broiler meat.
Output: Utilization of golden ‘’kuhol’’ as a feed supplement to broiler chickens
Gains: Economic status of the farmers
Duration: 1 year
Milestone:
User/s: farmers, broiler growers

Project Cost: Php. 254,700.00
Methods and Materials
Experimental Design and treatments.

The birds were randomly distributed into 4 treatments replicated 3 times with Five
(5) bird per replication a total of Sixty (60) heads of broiler chicken. The data will be
subjected to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) for Completely Randomized Design (CRD)
and treatment means were compared using the Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT).
The Different level treatment of the study are follow;
T1- Commercial Feeds + 0% Golden ‘’Kuhol’’ (1000g commercial feeds)

T2- Commercial Feeds + 10% Golden ‘’Kuhol’’(900g CF + 100g GASM)
T3- Commercial Feeds + 20% Golden ‘’Kuhol’’ (800g CF + 200g GASM)
T4- Commercial Feeds + 30% Golden ‘’Kuhol’’ (700g CF + 300g GASM)
A.) Preparation of the Feed Supplement

Golden apple snails will be collected from the. The golden ‘’kuhol’’ will be
washed and then boiled to separate the shell from the meat. It is then sliced, grind and
then mixed with commercial feeds by subtracting to the standard feeding and add the
golden apple snails meat according to the parameters before given to birds.
Data to be Gathered
1.) Initial Weight
The weights of the birds are taken at the start of the study and it was recorded as
initial weight.
2.) Final Weight
This was obtained by weighing the birds at the end of the study.
3.) Weight Gain
This was obtained by computing the final weight minus initial weight of the birds.
4.) Feed Consumption
The total feed consumed of the birds for the whole duration of the study and it will
be obtained by subtracting the feed offered from the feed left.
5.) Feed Efficiency
This was obtained by dividing the total feed consumption by the weight gain of
the chicken, as shown below.
Feed efficiency = Total Feed Consumption
Weight gain
Terminologies:
Morbidity (%). This was obtained by dividing the total number of sick birds by
the total number of the birds in each replicate and multiplied by 100%
Mortality (%). This was obtained by dividing the total number of dead birds by
the total number of birds in each replicate and multiplied by 100%
Net gain (Php). This was computed by adding the total expenses and
subtracting it to the total gross sale to come up with the net gain.
Return above feed cost. This was computed using the formula:
= Total feed consumption - Total cost x 100
Total Cost
B.) Digestibility Trial
1.) Feces collection for 1 week – Dung of poultry will be collected feathers and feed
removed and refrigerated and dried.
2.) Feed samples will be collected for digestibility analysis
C.) Meat Quality
1.) Drumstick cut will be Deep fried and subjected to sensory evaluation using
Hedonic scale to wits;
