COMPARATIVE STUDY ON FEEDING OF GROWTH PROMOTER (AVIATOR™) AND ENZYMES (ACINOR™) ON GROWTH PERFORMANCE OF BROILER

Abstract

The experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of growth promoter (Aviator™) and enzymes (Acinor™) with basal feed. A total of 40 Cobb-500 Broiler day old chicks were reared in an open sided gable type house for a period of 5 weeks from 24th september to 28th october, 2017. Body weight and feed intake were recorded on day 0, 7, 14, 21, 28 and 35. Birds were randomly distributed into four dietary groups i.e control (T0) with basal diet, T1 with basal diet and growth promoter (GP); T2 with basal diet and enzymes (EZ) and T3 with basal diet and combination of growth promoter (GP) and enzymes (EZ). The records were kept on body weight, feed intake and mortality while weight gain, feed conversion ratio (FCR) and survivability were calculated. Broiler chicks that received combination of growth promoter (GP) and enzymes (EZ) treatment showed significant improvement in performance (p<0.05) over control in respect to body weight gain, feed conversion ratio, carcass yield. Cost-effectiveness of combination of growth promoter (GP) and enzymes (EZ) treatment higher than all other treatment groups. It is concluded that combined use of growth promoter (Aviator™) and enzymes (Acinor™) have valuable effects on productive performance of broiler.
