Maximizing Poultry Nutrition

Using Coconut (Cocos
Nucifera) Pulp as an Additive
for Feeds Production and
Prebiotic Source for
Enhanced Performance

Labrador National High School

 Background of the study
One issue with costly chicken feeds is the financial burden it places on poultry growers. Due to

the significant negative effects that high feed costs can have on the profitability of poultry

farming operations, it can be challenging for farmers to maintain appropriate profit margins

while providing their hens with high-quality nutrition. Farmers may investigate other feed

sources or feed efficiency improvement to address this problem. Costly chicken feeds can be a

problem since they increase the price of production, reduce farmers' profit margins, make poultry

farming less economically viable, and may promote competition for feed components from other

businesses, which might potentially reduce the nutritious value of poultry products.

The chicken business is a crucial part of the agricultural sector, making a sizable contribution to

the worldwide food production. The rising cost of the materials in traditional poultry feed is a

recurring issue, though. The rising demand for poultry products on a global scale makes this

problem worse. Corn and soybean meal, which are the main ingredients in chicken feed, have

experienced price volatility and supply chain interruptions. This affects the economics of poultry

production and raises questions about food security, particularly in areas where poultry is a

major source of protein. Given these difficulties, it is imperative to investigate different and

reasonably priced feed additives in order to improve the sustainability and profitability of the

chicken sector. The researcher created a product called Coconut Pulp as an Additive for Feeds

Production to address this research.

Poultry farmers face financial strain due to high costs of chicken feeds, which can reduce

profitability and reduce the nutritional value of their products. 1. The industry faces challenges in

 sourcing alternative feed sources and improving efficiency. 2. The study aims to analyze the

nutritional value of coconut pulp as a feed additive, its production efficiency, pellet quality, and

effects on livestock and aquatic species. 3. It also examines potential obstacles to using coconut

pulp as pellet feeds and aims to make chicken pellets less expensive. 4. This could help address

the growing global demand for poultry products and improve food security.

Statement of the problem

This study aims to answer the following questions:

1.What is the effectiveness of coconut pulp feeds in terms of the

percentages of commercial feeds product?

a). T1- 25% of coconut pulp , 75% of natural ingredients of pellet feeds

b). T2-50% of coconut pulp , 50% of natural ingredients of pellet feeds

c). T3- 85% of coconut pulp , 15% of natural ingredients of pellet feeds

H01: There is no significant difference between the effectiveness of

coconut pulp feeds in terms of the percentage of the commercial feeds

product.

 2. What is the comparison of the effectiveness of coconut pulp feeds in

terms of other commercial feeds product?

a). Growth of the chicken (coconut pulp feeds)

b). Effectiveness

c). Growth of the chicken with the commercial feeds

Ho2: There is no significant difference between the effectiveness of

coconut pulp feeds in terms of other commercial feeds product .

3.What is the difference between the commercial feed pellets and coconut pulp
feed pellets?
a). Price
b). Composition
c). Protein Content
Ho3: There is no significant difference between the commercial feed pellets and
coconut pulp feed pellets .

 Objectives of the study

This study was conducted with the following objectives:

I. General Objective

● To make Maximizing Poultry Nutrition Using Coconut (Cocos

Nucifera) Pulp as an Additive for Feeds Production and Prebiotic Source

for Enhanced Performance.

II. Specific Objective

● To compare the effectiveness of coconut pulp pellet feeds to the

commercial feed pellets

● To test the effectiveness of coconut pulp feed pellets

Significance of the Study

Research on feed pellets made from coconut pulp has a lot of

potential. By reusing coconut leftovers, lowering waste, and fostering

Labrador National High School

 resource efficiency, it primarily supports sustainable agriculture. In areas

where coconut cultivation and livestock farming are common, improving

the quality of animal feed has the potential to improve the nutrition,

health, and product quality of animals. Additionally, by establishing new

sources of income and job possibilities in regions that grow coconuts,

this research has the potential to produce economic gains. Reusing

coconut waste benefits the environment by easing the burden on landfills

and lowering greenhouse gas emissions. In a larger sense, it indirectly

promotes food security by expanding the accessibility of premium

animal products, an essential source of protein in many diets. numerous

areas. Furthermore, using recycled coconut pulp as animal feed

promotes nutrient recycling and lessens the need for synthetic fertilizers.

The sources of animal feed should be varied to increase agricultural

resilience. The study may result in the creation of new goods and

procedures by encouraging research and innovation in animal nutrition

and feed production. It is crucial to guarantee the wellbeing and safety of

animals using coconut pulp feed pellets. Given the importance of raising

cattle and producing coconuts on a global scale, the results of this study

 may have broad applications in numerous situations and geographical

areas. In conclusion, a study on coconut pulp feed pellets is important

since it addresses issues with agriculture, the environment, economics,

and nutrition while promoting sustainability and innovation.
