The pantaloni bianchi neonato broilers food was provided from fermented and non-fermented of the raw materials.Fermentation utilizes microorganisms to transform raw materials into useful products, resulting in the production of nutritionally enriched, very stable food products from low-value carbohydrate and protein substrates.Therefore, this study aimed to assess the growth performance, return above feed cost and mortality of broilers given a non-fermented (control) and fermented feeds using plain water, water+15 ml coco vinegar and water +15 ml RPL8+AKE probiotic as fermenting agents.

The fermentation process lasted for 72 hours inside tightly covered container in a dark room at room temperature.A total of 120 broiler chicks were randomly assigned to four treatment diets and were replicated three times with ten birds per replication following a Complete Randomized Design set-up.Data on cumulative weekly weight gain (CWWG), average daily gain (ADG), and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were subjected to one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and comparison between treatment means was done by Honestly Significant Difference test using the SPSS version 20.

0.Results revealed a better growth performance of broilers under non-fermented diet compared with fermented diets.Significantly (p0.

01) highest ADG on broilers fed with non-fermented ration (m=0.397g, sd=0.0086g), followed by water+15 ml coco el reformador tequila anejo vinegar (0.

365g), water+15 ml RPL8+AKE probiotic (m=0.343g, sd=0.0114g) and plain water (m=0.

314g, sd=0.0057g).Although below the Philippine average (2.

0) and standard (1.9) FCR, broilers fed with non-fermented diet had the better FCR (2.3) than those fed with fermented rations.

The lowest feed cost and positive return above feed cost on broilers given fermented diets imply a negative impact on the expected profit in poultry production instead of non-fermented ration.However, no mortality was recorded for broilers given a fermented diets which implies that it produces vigorous broilers.
