EFFECT OF GINGER (Zingiber officinale) POWDER SUPPLEMENTATION ON THE PERFORMANCE OF BROILER Chowdhury, Arif This experiment aimed to investigate the effect of ginger (Zingiber officinale) powder on the performance of commercial broiler chicken. In this study ninety six (96) Cobb500 day old chicks of the similar weight divided into 4 groups, each group consists of 3 replicates and containing 8 birds in erach replication and experiment period are 4 weeks. Treatment groups included T0= control, T1= 0.5g ginger powder per kg diet, T2 = 1g ginger powder per kg diet T3 =2g ginger powder per kg diet Average weight gain, feed consumption, feed efficiency, dressing yield and survivability were used as criteria of response to feeding ginger powder. Organs weight including heart, liver and gizzard were also recorded. The mean body weight per broiler was 1585.74, 1634.07, 1703.9 and 1840.27g in 28 days for the treatment of groups T0, T1, T2, and T3, respectively. The highest weight gain was found in T3(1840.27g) P<0.01). The highest body weight gain was found in T3 (1840.27g) compared to the control. The average feed consumption per broiler was 2886.33, 2680.5, 2781.93 and 2802.2 g (P<0.01) in 28 days for the groups of T0, T1, T2, and T3, respectively. The average feed efficiency (feed/gain) was 1.82, 1.64, 1.63 and 1.52 (P<0.01) in 28 days for group T0, T1, T2, and T3, respectively. The FCR was significant(P<0.01) lowest in T3 . The mean dressing yield was 56.16%, 59.63%, 58.89% and 60.42% (P<0.01) for the groups of T0, T1, T2, and T3, respectively. The average weight of abdominal fat was 2.51, 1.82, 1.67 and 1.58g (P<0.01) and heart was 8.28, 8.46, 9.30 and 9.41g (P<0.05). The average weight of liver was 41.1, 43.5, 42.2 and 46.5g (P>0.05) for the groups of T0, T1, T2, and T3, respectively. The mean gizzard weight was 38.57, 42.47, 45.77 and 46.5g (P>0.05) for the groups of T0, T1, T2, and T3, respectively. Survivability was 98.67%, 100%, 100% and 100% (P>0.05) for the groups of T0, T1, T2, and T3, respectively. It may be concluded that the use of ginger (Zingiber officinale) as feed additive 2gm ginger powder per kg diet enhances the overall performance of broiler chicks.

DIERTY EFFECT OF FENNEL SEEDS (Foeniculum Vulgaris L.) AS GROWTH PROMOTER ON THE PERFORMANCE OF BROILER YADAV, MUKESH KUMAR To investigate the effects of feeding different level of Fennel (Foeniculum vulgaris L.) powder on the performance of broiler during summer (September-October), 2019. Four experimental diets designated as T0, T1, T2 and T3 having 0%, 0.5%, 1% and 2% dried Fennel (Foeniculum vulgaris L.) powder was fed to (96) vigorous day-old Broiler chicks. The chicks were, randomly and equally distributed to 4 treatments having 3 replicates of 8 birds each. The experiment was lasted for 35 days. Average weight gain, feed consumption, feed efficiency, dressing yield and survivability were used as the criteria of response to feeding the Fennel (Foeniculum vulgaris L.) powder. Organs weight including heart, liver and gizzard were also recorded. Results showed that addition of Fennel (Foeniculum vulgaris L.) powder increased the body weight (P<0.05) in broiler irrespective of doses and the mean body weight per broiler were 1298.69, 1416.58, 1463.59 and 1433.14g in the T0, T1, T2, and T3, respectively (P<0.05). The average feed consumption per broiler were 2455.82, 2244.08, 2235.62 and 2223.61g (P<0.05) in the T0, T1, T2 and T3, respectively. The feed conversion ratio (feed/gain) were 1.48, 1.20, 1.17 and 1.19 (P<0.05) in the T0, T1, T2 and T3, respectively. The mean dressing yield were 58.32%, 59.00%, 62.25% and 61.41% (P<0.05) for the groups of T0, T1, T2 and T3, respectively. The average weights of abdominal fat were 2.73, 1.73, 1.59 and 1.63g (P<0.05) and where the heart weights were 6.46, 7.30, 8.1 and 7.5g (P<0.05), in T0, T1, T2 and T3, respectively. The average weights of liver were 38.1, 38.52, 41.21 and 39.98g (P>0.05) in the T0, T1, T2 and T3, respectively. The mean gizzard weights were 37.47, 37.56, 38.77 and 37.8g (P>0.05) for the groups of T0, T1, T2, and T3, respectively. It was concluded that Fennel (Foeniculum vulgaris L.) powder at 1 to 28 days of age at the level of 0.5%, 1% and 2% be used as feed additive to enhance overall performance of broiler.

COMPARATIVE STUDY OF PELLET AND MASH FEED ON THE PRODUCTION PERFORMANCE OF SONALI CHICKEN Roy, Kunjo This experiment was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of Mash feed and Pellet feed on production performance of Sonali chicken in Bangladesh. A total of 176 day old chicks (DOC) were randomly assigned into two treatment groups namely T1 and T2 having four replications in each treatment group. Chicks were brooded up to 28 days then randomly separate into replication wise in separate pen for rearing 11 weeks. Each treatment group contains 88 birds whereas each replication contains 22 birds. Experimental birds in T1 and T2 were provided Pellet feed and Mash feed respectively. The results of this study was indicated that final live weight gain and feed conversion ratio (FCR) of birds found significantly (p<0.05) higher in T1 group (814.33±14.38g) that received Pellet feed compared (T1) to Mash feed (T2) (725.00±11.80g). This result also indicated that body weight gain, and feed efficiency were increased at Pellet feed. The low feed cost found in T2 and high in T1 group. Net profit Tk. found maximum in T2 (26.30±1.88) followed by T1 (25.78±1.60).The present study concludes that Pellet feed is more economic than Mash feed.

CHARACTERIZATION OF NATIVE FREE RANGING CHICKEN REARING SYSTEM IN RURAL SETTINGS OF RAJSHAHI EQBAL, MD. JAFAR An exploratory research was carried out at farmer’s households based on household survey using a variety of data collection methods/tools (semi-structured interview, focus group discussion and direct observation) to better understand the ground situation of smallholder family poultry (FP) rearing system in the rural settings in Bangladesh. Total n=97 poultry keeping households were purposively selected for household survey intended to gain detailed information on flock composition and other related issues to backyard poultry rearing practices. In this study it was found that about 77% of the village family rear poultry with an average around 6 per holding. Self consumption (85%) is the apex use of FP rearing along with little amount for sell and hobby. There was no training and access to credit facility. It was found that majority of the households share the same house for night shelter of chicken with other poultry and livestock species and even with their own house. Mud was the principal material for building poultry house with bamboo and wood, in a very few cases concrete made house was observed. Only 13% of the households provided nest box for hens and option for ventilation in the poultry houses was totally absent. The major feed sources for chickens were household wastages, earthworms, insects, seeds, green leaves and other plant materials through scavenging with little supplementation of broken rice, rice husk, paddy, wheat, maize crust. It was observed that the sources of drinking water for FP are tube-well canal that villagers used for bathing and washing utensils and clothes, pond, drain, sewerage, and any water logging. The degree of vaccination to the FP was very low (6.26%) or negligible. only 4% of the household received service for their poultry from veterinary surgeon. Poultry keepers mostly used bamboo made broom (85%) for cleaning the poultry house, and never used the chemical disinfectant for cleaning the shed. The study also disclose that the poultry keepers have very limited idea about the transmission of diseases from birds to them, the summation of not harmful and no idea comprise more than 85% of the respondents . It clearly indicates that the rural FP rearers are in high chance to be infected with inter-communicable poultry diseases like avian influenza. A THESIS BY MD.
