Rationale: The chicken manure contains sprinkling chicken feed, dander, feather, a
slight of broken eggs and undigested feed as well as unabsorbed nutriments. According
to the research, crude protein accounts for 30~33% in the dry chicken manure, more
than half of which is uric acid, so the chicken manure is the good feed for fish and the
ideal material for making fish feed pellets. The raw chicken manure is not suitable for
feeding fish directly because of containing parasitic ovum, some toxic substance and
germs.

As response to this, the researchers proposed a machine to make raw chicken

manure suitable for feeding fish. The process aims to sterilize the chicken manure to
avoid bacteria such salmonella and toxic substances. This also aims to pelletized the
chicken manure and add mixtures to make it more effective. The objective of the study
is to produce pelletized chicken manure fish feeds for Brgy. Dalimay, Tuy Batangas to
reduce the feeding cost and form a good ecological cycle between chicken and fish
farming.

Objectives of the Study

The main concern of this study is to develop a fish feeds from chicken manure for
effective waste management and reduce the feeding cost.
Specifically, this study aims to:
1. Design the machine by taking into the description of the following:
1.1 material specifications
1.2 system components
2. Fabricate the machine according to the

design

specifications and

requirements.
3. Conduct preliminary testing of the fabricated fish feeds from chicken manure
production in terms of:
3.1 Operating capacity of the machine
3.2 Operating speed

4. Conduct final performance testing of the fabricated machine in terms of:

4.1 drying rate
4.2 percent yield
4.3 machine efficiency
4.4 production rate
5.

Develop an operational manual for the fabricated fish feed from chicken

manure sterilizing and pelletizing making machine.
