| dc.description | The world population will reach 7.5 billion by 2020, with 6.3 billion living in
developing countries (FAO, 2000). The increase in populations and urbanization
are critical issues in terms of food availability and nutritional well being. More
people require more food, more services and employment. It is reported that 30%
children of the world under five years of age are underweight, 199 million
children suffer from protein-energy malnutrition and 1.3 billon people live below
poverty line (UNDP, 2000). According to BBS (1998), about 90% people of your
country are suffering from malnutrition, especially for imbalanced animal protein
in the diet. | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | The study was conducted in poultry shed, under the Department of Dairy and Poultry
Science, HSTU. The experimental period was 28" August 2013 to 5 October 2013.
The experiment is carried our to select the best strain in the suitable environment in the
Dinajpur district. One hundred twenty commercial broiler chicks of different strains
(Lohmann, First feather, Hubbard classic and Cobb 500) were randomly divided into
four dietary treatment each having three (3) replicates. The number of birds in each
treatment was 30 while in each replicate 10. The birds were reared from day 1 to 35 days
of age with similar housing, feeding and environmental management condition. The
body weight of Lohmann (T}) was significant as compare to fast feather (T2) and the
body weight of Hubbard Classic and Cobb 500 were not significant as compare to
Lohmann through out the experimental period. After five weeks of rearing body weight
were T) (1948.83g), Tz (1836.25g), T3 (1876.08g) and T4 (1851.65g) respectively. In that
case of feed intake there was more or less similer. But T2 (First Feather) intake more
(3123.33g) than others. Feed intake after 35 days, T; (3100gm), T, (3123.33g), T3
(3056.67g) and T4 (3080gm) respectively. Feed convertion ratio was superior in FCR of
Lohmann as compare to fast feather (T2) and Hubbard Classic (T3) and Cobb 500 were
not significant as compare to Lohmann (T}). The feed conversion ratio was followed by
1.59 (11), 1.70 (T2), 1.62 (13) and 1.66 (T4) respectivly. The variation in survibility
among the strains was non significant (P>0.05). Non significant differences were found
in dressing percentage among the strains. Abdominal fat, breast muscle is higher in
Lohmann than another three strains. It may be concluded that Lohmann broiler performs
the best in Bangladesh especially in hot weather than First feather and the perfomance of
Hubbard classic and Cobb 500 were more or less similer to Lohmann . The later three
strains may also be recommended but priority may be given to Lohmann broiler.
Key words: Broiler Performance, Different Strains, Feed Conversion Ration. | en_US |
