high school life. In RSHS for Region 1,
you can't just discover something new
that can change or improve the quality of
life or solve problems, but it can also
change you as a student or researchers
because you will be challenged here. As
they say, "If it doesn't challenge you, it
won't change you".
During the S.Y 2018-2019,
researchers from the SHS conducted a
study entitled fish scales and gills as feed
additive for broiler chickens. The
scales and gills were extracted from the
fish, it was disposed immediately. And
at home, they observed that fish gills
were edible to dogs and cats, so they
searched about fish gills along with
scales to know the different nutrients
present in it. After a couple of months,
they proved that it was indeed an
effective feed additive.
WHAT TO KNOW
ABOUT FISH SCALES AND
GILLS?
In poultry nutrition, most
attention is given to protein
products, because of its importance
as a major constituent of the
biologically active compounds in
the body. It also supports in the
synthesis of body tissue, for that
enzymes and hormones which
play significant roles in the
physiology of any living organism.
 The nutrients that can be return of investment, and the healthier the

extracted from fish scales and gills
include mineral, fat, iron, zinc,
variety of vitamins, calcium,
phosphorus, collagen and protein.
Fish scales are a surprisingly

CONCLUSIONS OF THE
STUDY
After the further verification of the

results and findings of the study, the researchers

arrived with the following conclusions: fish

scales and gills are effective feed additive for

broiler chickens and T2 yielded the best result as

the chickens’ weight increased as days go by. The

researchers also found out that the larger the

amount of pounded fish scales and gills added,

the heavier the chickens which leads to a higher
