Abstract

This research study aimed to determine the potential of game fowl chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) feather in fortifying cinder blocks. This study was significant in making cinder blocks more durable for industrial and domestic use and encourages the recycling of discarded game fowl feathers. The research design used was the completely randomized design that involved three experimental treatments: (25g, 50g, 75g) of game fowl feather and standard made cinder blocks for control set ups. For compressive strength and water absorbency test, the most recommended was Treatment 1 with mixture of 25g of game fowl feathers, which is the best treatment with a mean of 20 PSI and with a mean of 7.66 water absorbed and it was compared with the standard block (control set-up). Hence, Treatment 1 was comparable to the standard block (control set-up) in terms of compressive strength and water absorbency based on the statistics results at p value of 1.000 for compressive strength and 0.751 for water absorbency respectively. As a result, this research study on the potential of game fowl feathers as a component in fortifying cinder blocks concluded that in terms of compressive strength and water absorption test, the enhanced experimental blocks are comparable to the standard made blocks.
