Investigatory Project
Chapter I
The Problem and Its Background A. Introduction
Poultry-raising is one of the businesses that can be found here in the Philippines. It’s very simple and helpful, as chickens provide foods like chicken meat and eggs. It could also help in the agriculture area. Some people use growth enhancer so that the chickens may grow fast. But now, we’re going to have a study to find a natural and better substitute, like Aloe Vera (Aloe barbadensis) as a chick growth enhancer. B. Background of the Study
There is an increase of demand of chicken today. Most of the restaurants in our country are using chicken for their specialty. As we all know chicken is one of the most common foods that we eat, and that is our reason of pursuing this project. We would like to help the poultry-raisers to raise chickens in a small period of time. If we succeeded with this project we can also help our economy to grow and make it more influential. This project is also against on non-organic raisers because we are not sure about the side effects of that chemical once we intake the chicken.
We want to prove that even we are a student we can help in our own little way. The fact that Aloe Vera is highly available and cheaper, this will help people, especially in business industries. They can even do it on their own.
C. Statement of the Problem
The researchers would like to seek the answer to the problem “Can Aloe Vera extract be as an alternative for growth and weight enhancer on chicks?” If so, what is/are the side effects of Aloe Vera (Aloe barbadensis) extract in: * Growth * Skin Color * Other characteristics
D. Formulation of a Hypothesis
a. Affirmative Hypothesis
Aloe Vera extract is effective for using it as a chick growth and weight enhancer as it contains several vitamins and minerals that are essential components for good health and other benefits. b. Null Hypothesis
Aloe Vera extract is not effective for using it as a chick growth and weight
