The study was conducted to evaluate and determine the growth performance and cost effectiveness of using kubol meat meal as compared to soybean meal and fishmeal for day 35 The experiment was laid out in a Completely Randomized Design with the following treatments T1-Commercial feed, T2-Soybean meal, T3- Fishmeal and T4-Kuhol meat meal Each treatment had three (3) replicates containing ten (10) experimental units. The result of the study showed that based on the growth performance (mean weights, average daily gain and feed conversion ratio) of the broiler chickens the commercial feed had the highest value, followed by the kuhol meat meal and fish meal, while the soybean meal had the lowest value. In the economic profitability, the commercial feed had the highest return of income (PhP 43.38) It is concluded in this study that broilers fed with fishmeal and kuhol meat meal in then diet gained significantly higher average daily gain (ADG) at day 35 The feed consumption of broilers did not differ significantly Feed conversion rate of broilers fed with fishmeal and kuhol meat meal improved on day 35. The ROI of broiler fed with fishmeal and kuhol meat meal did not differ significantly However, broilers fed with fishmeal had a higher ROI than those fed with kuhol meat meal and soybean meal.
