LEVELS OF ORIENTAL HERBAL NUTRIENT (OHN) AS NATURAL
PROBIOTICS ON THE GROWTH PERFORMANCE OF ZAMPEN NATIVE
CHICKEN, School of Agriculture Forestry and Environmental Studies, J. H.
Cerilles State College, Mati, San Miguel Zamboanga del Sur. An Undergraduate
Thesis.

Thesis Adviser: JERRY B. SUPERALES, PhD.

This study was conducted from November 01, 2021 to February 23, 2022
at Don Jose, Dinas, Zamboanga del Sur covering a total of 116 days including
the brooding stage of the chicken. This study was conducted to determine the
potential effect of Oriental Herbal Nutrient on the growth performance of ZamPen
native chicken. The study was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design
(RCBD) with four (4) treatments and three (3) replications, as follows; Treatment
1 (Control- pure water), Treatment 2 (10% of OHN/ 1L of water), Treatment 3
(15% of OHN/ 1L of water), Treatment 4 (20% of OHN/ 1L of water). It was found
starting from the first until eight weeks of the study, statistical analysis revealed
that only second week of gathering data in weekly water intake of the chicken
showed significant difference among treatments. Treatment 2 (10% of OHN / 1L
of water) got the highest result on the growth performance of ZamPen Native
Chicken with the total mean of 83.7 grams, while T1 and T2 obtained a total
mean of 77.7 and 71.3 grams, respectively. Treatment 4 obtained the lowest
growth performance of 70.8 grams. The application of treatment 3 (15% of OHN/
1L of water) obtained a highest return of invest of 86% among OHN levels.

Keywords: Growth, Probiotics, Treatment, Water intake, Levels, OHN
