Abstract
A total of eighty (80) heads of broiler chicks were used as experimental birds in the
study. The experimental birds were arranged in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with
four (4) treatments replicated four (4) times with five (5) birds in each replication. Treatments
were: A – Control, B – 10mL Yakult/Liter of water, C – 10mL Lacto-Pafi/Liter of water and D –
10mL Nature Bio/Liter of water. The study was conducted at the University of Southeastern
Philippines – Mabini Campus, Pindasan, Mabini, Comval Province from August 8, 2015 to
September 11, 2015.
The highest and the lowest Marginal Benefit Cost Ratio in kilogram of birds were
obtained from Treatment 3 and 1 at 0.57 and 0.43 respectively.
Introduction
The poultry industry has become an important economic activity in many countries. In
large-scale rearing facilities, where poultry are exposed to stressful conditions, problems related
to diseases and deterioration of environmental conditions often occur and result in serious
economic losses. Prevention and control of diseases have led during recent decades to a
substantial increase in the use of veterinary medicines. However, the utility of antimicrobial
agents as a preventive measure has been questioned, given extensive documentation of the
evolution of antimicrobial resistance among pathogenic bacteria. So, the possibility of antibiotics
ceasing to be used as growth stimulants for poultry and the concern about the side-effects of their
use as therapeutic agents has produced a climate in which both consumer and manufacturer are
looking for alternatives. Probiotics are being considered to fill this gap and already some farmers
are using them in preference to antibiotics
Adding the so-called beneficial bacteria to the digestive tract of poultry is not a new
concept, however, a complete understanding of where, when and how to use them still has
escaped us in its entirety. A strikingly crucial event in the development of probiotics was the
finding that newly hatched chickens could be protected against colonization by Salmonella
enteritidis by dosing a suspension of gut contents derived from healthy adult chickens. This
concept is called competitive exclusion.
Objectives
Yakult is a fermented milk drink that contains a very high concentration of the
beneficial bacterium Lactobacillus casei Shirota strain.This bacteria was named after Dr
Shirota who first discovered this unique strain in 1935. The beneficial bacteria strain in
Yakult is scientifically proven to survive the journey through the gastric juices to reach the
small intestine alive. Each 65ml bottle contains 6.5 billion of these highly acid resistant
bacteria, exclusive to Yakult. This means that every millilitre of Yakult contains 100 million
(100, 000, 000) of the live Lactobacillus casei Shirota strain. The benefits of Yakult
consumption are supported by an array of scientific studies. Those could range from
maintenance of gut flora, "modulation" of the immune system, regulation of bowel habits
and constipation and finally effects on some gastrointestinal infections. Although the
number of scientific papers is certainly large, most of them are related to in vitro and in
vivo experiments, with some human clinical trials done on cohorts and with daily
consumption of 40–100 billions of probiotic L. caseiShirota, far above the single bottle
concentration of approximately 6.5 billion. (Online Available)
Lactopafi ingredients is milk which consists of an abundance of the major nutrients
to maintain good health, including fats, carbohydrates, proteins, minerals, and vitamins.
Cow’s milk typically contains about 3.5 to 5 percent fat, which is dispersed throughout the
milk in globules. In addition to providing milk’s characteristic taste and texture, fat supplies
vitamins A, D, E, and K, as well as certain fatty acids that the body cannot produce on its
own.
Methodology
Location and Duration of Study
The study were conducted from August 8, 2015 to September 11, 2015, covering a period
of thirty-five (35) days at the University of Southeastern Philippines – Mabini Campus,
Pindasan, Mabini, Comval Province.
A total of eighty (80) heads of broiler chicks were used as experimental birds in the
study. The experimental birds were arranged in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with
four (4) treatments replicated four (4) times with five (5) birds in each replication.
T1 – Control
T2 - 10mL Yakult/Liter of water
T3 - 10mL Lacto-Pafi/Liter of water
T4 - 10mL Natures Bio/Liter of water
Experimental Birds
Eighty (80) heads day old chicks were purchased at Vitarich Corporation were used in the
study. The birds were raised for fifteen (15) days in the brooder. After the brooding period, the
birds were randomly distributed to the growing finishing cages and were fed in ad libitum basis.
Preparation of Poultry House
A week before the arrival of the birds, the poultry house was properly cleaned and
disinfected with Creoline. All the materials that are needed like waters, feeders, electrical
fixtures, brooms, pails and newspapers were prepared.
Sixteen (16) cages with a space requirement of 1 square foot per bird werepaired and
cleaned. Every cage accommodated five (5) birds. This was made up of local materials such as
bamboos and timber. The height of each caged was 2.5 meter from the floor of the building.
Brooding
Experimental birds were brooded for fifteen (15) days with the used of 100 watts
electrical bulb. Bulb was place at the center of the brooder of the pen to allow even distribution
of heat. The light was turn on a few hours before the birds arrived and was remained lighted for
24 hours until birds were transferred to the rearing cages for brooding.
Proper sanitation was practiced throughout the duration of the experiment. Waterer,
feeders and the surroundings were cleaned every day and the manure was removed regularly to
minimized bad odor. Sickly and weak birds were separated or culled to prevent the possible
spreading of diseases.
Data Gathered
Initial Weight
The birds were weighed at the start of the study and recorded as initial weight
Feed Consumption
Feed consumption were weighed daily until the 35days of feeding. It was taken by
deducting from feed left from feed offered. The total feed consumption for the duration of the
study was recorded as feed consumption.
Final Weight
Feed Efficiency
The total feed consumed divided by the weight gain of the broilers is equal to feed
efficiency.
Weight gain
It was done by getting the final weight minus the initial weight.
Marginal Benefit Cost Ratio is equal to the benefit divided by the marginal cost of
production. Benefit is equal to the weight gain times price of the bird in its replication. The cost
production includes the cost of chicks and experimental rations.

Conclusion
Based on the result of the sensory evaluation, it is therefore concluded that Treatment 1 –
Control were favoured by most panellists in terms of overall acceptability. However, each
treatment varies results for every criteria given. For the appearance, Treatment 2 – 10mL
Yakult/Liter of water were most favoured. In terms of taste, juiciness and tenderness, Treatment
4 – 10mL Natures Bio/Liter of water were chosen by most panellists. Related Study show that
Natures Bio Enhance the quality of meat and prevent disease development and epidemics.
And for odor, the panellist liked the most is Treatment 3 – 10mL Lacto-Pafi/Liter of water.
Other Observation
A. Physical Appearance
When probiotics was supplemented in drinking water, it was observed that the
feather of the birds showed neat and clean compared to control group. High density of
feather and red color of the comb was then observed,
B. Waste Product
It was observed that the birds supplemented with probiotics had drier and more
compact feces and less odorous as compared to the control group.
C. Mortality Rate
No mortality between treatments was observed during the duration of the study.
