Here are some ways to reduce feed costs developed in the Phils by pinoys


FEED FOR CHICKEN
1. Watermelon rind
Researchers at UP Los Baños fed watermelon rind to chickens for 6 months. These were compared to chicken given ordinary commercial feed. They observed that commercial feeds can be replaced with watermelon rind up to 20%.
Method:
a. Boil the rind until cooked.
b. Dry in the sun.
c. Grind and mix with ordinary feed.

2. Sunflower Seeds
Researchers in India tried feeding 18% up to 26% protein (from the resulting cakes after oil has been extracted from the sunflower seeds) to growing chickens aging up to 70 days. These grew faster and consumed more feeds than those not given sunflower cakes. They also observed that feeding the chickens with seed coats did not cause any harm.

3. Tobacco Seeds
In places where tobacco is widely planted, farmers know that every plant can yield about 30 grams. To save on feeds, researchers tried replacing 20% of the feeds with tobacco seeds. Nothing adverse was observed in the chicken, neither in taste nor in shape.
Tobacco seeds contain: 20% protein (38% if newly harvested), 15% crude fiber and 4% carbohydrates.

4. Banana Leaves
According to researchers in Southern Mindanao Agricultural Research in Kabacan, North Cotabato, broilers fed with 5% chopped banana leaves gained weight almost 1-1/2 kilos more than those fed with commercial starter mash ration or with 10% added banana leaves.

5. Banana Peels
Method:
a. Chop fine raw saba peels.
b. Boil for one hour, drain and cool.
c. For every kilo of dried banana peel, add:
150 gms dried chicken manure
100 gms rice bran (darak)
d. Mix well and dry in the sun.
e. Pulverize further up to about 1 mm sieve
This can be mixed up to 15% commercial broiler starter mash and finisher mash.
Example: 850 gm commercial mash
150 gm banana peel and added mixture
1 kilo
For broiler feed, ration diet is starter mash from day 1 to day 42, and finisher mash from 42-49 days.
Chickens fed 25% with this in 56 days made no difference in weight with those fed with 100% corn.

6. Rabbit Manure
According to British Poultry Science Report (1981), for every kilo of broiler feed, 100-200 gm dried rabbit manure can be added. Dried rabbit manure according to their research, contains 18.8% raw protein, 9% water, and 19.9% MJ energy in every kilo.
7. Seaweeds
Two kinds of brown algae can be mixed with the chicken feed in the following way:
a) dry algae in the sun until dry
b) pulverize and add to the feed at 5% amount.
Every kilo of algae is 20 gms powder that contains:
8.76% raw protein
7.76% raw fiber
36.67% ash and
46.26% free nitrogen extract
Every kilo of this contains 2,452 calories.

8. Water Lily
According to UPLB Researchers, water lily is rich in protein making it suitable as feed for chicken.
Procedure:
1. Pulverize (grind) water lily leaves
2. Mix the greenish paste-like substance with water and stir well to dissolve protein.
3. Screen the mixture to separate fibers.
4. Heat the liquid to 80oC to coagulate protein components, dry and pulverize.
The result is the water hyacinth leaf protein concentrate (WHLPC) which is an excellent substitute to ¼ soybean meals as feed for chicks aged 1-40 days-old. WHLPC is also rich in calcium and potassium and contains 35% raw protein with 11% roughage. WLHPC, although do not necessarily aid in growing chicks, it lessens the cost of feeding. It also lessens the risks of flooding due to clogging of waterlines as well as oxygen depletion in water bodies.

CURRENT STORM ANALYSIS:

As of 5:00 am today, the eye of TY Nari (Santi) was located over the western part of the Central Philippine Sea...about 170 km north-northeast of Pandan, Catanduanes or 275 km east-southeast of Casiguran, Aurora...currently moving west-northwest with an increased forward speed of 24 km/hr towards Aurora and Nueva Ecija Provinces.

Maximum Sustained Winds (1-min. avg) have rapidly increased to 160 km/hr near the center with higher gusts. Typhoon Force Winds (118 km/hr or more) extend outward up to 35 kilometers from the center...and Tropical Storm Force Winds (63-117 km/hr) extend outward up to 140 kilometers. Nari (Santi) has grown into a large-sized tropical cyclone with a diameter of 685 kilometers across. The 24-hour rainfall accumulation near the center of Nari (Santi) is estimated to be extreme (400 mm).


2-DAY FORECAST OUTLOOK*:

TY Nari (Santi) is expected to move generally westward with an increase in forward speed during the next 24 through 48 hours. On the forecast track, the core of Nari (Santi) will be passing well to the north of Bicol Region this morning...and will be just off the coast of Northern Aurora this afternoon. By this evening, Nari (Santi) will make landfall over Aurora somewhere over or very close to the town of Baler...and will traverse the provinces of Nueva Ecija and Pangasinan late tonight through Saturday early morning before moving out into the West Philippine Sea. Throughout Saturday, the typhoon will be cruising along the Scarborough (Panatag) Shoal in the West Philippine Sea, exiting the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) on Sunday morning.

TY Nari (Santi) will continue to intensify during the next 6 to 12 hours. Advance Intensity Forecast (AIF) shows its 1-minute maximum sustained winds reaching 175 km/hr before it makes landfall over Aurora Province tonight.

The following is the summary of the 2-day forecast outlook and an extended 3-day forecast on this system:

SATURDAY MORNING: Weakens to a Category 1 TY while over Western Pangasinan...about 55 km west of Dagupan City, Pangasinan [5AM OCT 12: 16.0N 119.8E @ 150kph].
