| Abstract | Native chicken production is a trend in many rural areas in the Philippines because of the highly adaptable conditions with less food, poor shelter, diseases, and sudden changes in weather patterns, which generally stress the exotic varieties. Thirty-six native chickens were used in the experiment, randomly allocated to 4 treatments, and replicated three times with nine native chickens for each treatment using a randomized complete block design. The treatments used in this experiment were T0= (control) 50 grams of commercial feeds; T1 = 49.50 grams commercial feeds + 0.50 gram hot red pepper; T2 = 49.25 grams commercial feeds + 0.75 gram of hot red pepper; and T3 = 49 grams commercial feeds + 1 gram of hot red pepper. Results showed that supplementation of hot red pepper had no difference (P < 0.05) between the starter and finisher in cumulative feed consumption and cumulative feed conversion ratio on starter, grower, and finisher. However, weekly weight gain significantly differs from the first week to the ninth week (P < 0.05). Furthermore, native chicken feeds with 49.50 g of commercial feed + 0.50 g of hot red pepper (Capsicum frutescens L.) gained the highest percentage of weight. The study revealed that different levels of hot red pepper application affect the diet performance of the native chicken. Supplementing red hot pepper for the growth of native chicken also resulted in more than 50% return on investment. Therefore, incorporating red hot pepper as a diet supplement in feed can be profitable for native chicken farmers. |
