Abstract

INTRODUCTION

These day chickens are one of the most in demand product in the market. Many bacteria are living inside the body of the chicken may cause different types of diseases that can harm the chicken and the people eating it. This study determined the efficacy of Carica papaya seeds as an additive in making chicken feeds.

 

METHODS

Pre-test and posttest design was used. Feed intake was got daily via weigh-back mechanism by subtracting left-over feed from feed served. Three concentrations were done in this study:5g,10g,15g and each concentration has three broiler chickens who will take the feeds. The chicken feeds with C. papaya seeds was evaluated chemically. It was tested using the chemical analysis for chicken feeds called Proximate Composition test where in the percentage of the crude protein, crude fiber, ether extract, moisture, nitrogen free extract and ash. After acquiring the health status of the chicken after taking the feeds with C. papaya seeds the data will be used to determine whether there is a significant difference among the means of each C. papaya seeds concentration using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and correlation for the significant relationship between feed intake and weight.

 

RESULTS

It was observed that the weight of the chickens with the concentration of 5 grams has the same weight as the chickens in 10 grams. Also the amount of added papaya seeds was positively correlated with the weight gain of the chicken (r= 0.96, p>5). After using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) to determine the significant difference among the means of each broiler chicken(Gallus gallus domesticus) takingC. papaya seeds concentration there is a condition that if F<F crit, the null hypothesis is accepted and the significant difference higher than 0.05 shows that the probability of its efficiency is low.

 

DISCUSSIONS

Based from the results, it is revealed that in a span of two weeks there was a change in their weight. It was recorded that there was 50g increase in the feed intake of the chicken after a week of feeding it with the chicken feeds with dried Carica papaya seeds.In the results of the study it was discovered that the group of chickens that were taking 10g and 15g of the feeds got the most weight gain after 14 days. The data's showed that there was a correlation between the amount of dried Carica papaya seeds addedin the chicken feeds and weight gain of the broiler chicken as well as the feed intake of the chicken.
