Abstract:

The most popular domestic animals in poultry raising are birds, such as chickens, geese, turkeys, and ducks. This study aims to bolster the growth performance of broiler chicken by supplementing bio-stimu-lant in the drinking water. This was conducted last January 1 to Febru-ary 7, 2024 at Bacolod City, Philippines. The total number of birds used for this study was 80 broiler chickens. The researchers gathered data on the broiler chicken's weight, average daily gain, and feed conversa-tion ratio within 35 days. The researchers used a complete randomized design (CRD) with four treatments replicated four times. All the data gathered were statistically computed, and subjected to analysis of var-iance (ANOVA) in CRD using STAR 2.0.1. Results show that supple-menting drinking water with 0.30% BSS mixtures had the heaviest weight of broiler chickens with 0.6984 kg, 1.3321 kg, and 1.7764 kg at weeks 3, 4, and 5, respectively. The same concentration implied broiler chickens' highest average daily gain (ADG) weight with 0.0998 kg, 0.1903 kg, and 0.2538 kg at weeks 3, 4, and 5, respectively. Significant results were also shown by the same concentration with the lowest feed conversion ratio (FCR) at 1.47, 1.36, and 1.34 at weeks 3, 4, and 5, respectively. Based on the results of the study it recommends supple-menting the drinking water of broiler chickens with BSS at a concen-tration of 0.30%.
