| dc.description | There is lack of sufficient animal protein in developing countries like
Bangladesh due to population explosion. Poor people can hardly manage the
standard daily requirement of protein. To fulfill this shortage commercial
broiler can play an important role. Still broiler is the cheapest meat source in
Bangladesh and it contributes 30% to the total animal protein for human
consumption (Huque, 1996). | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | The performance and profitability of two commercial broiler strains reared
under farming system were investigated in this study. Day-old broiler chicks
(n=60) of two different commercial strains (Hubbard classic and Cobb 500)
were assigned into two treatment groups. The birds were reared from day one in
35 days of age with similar housing, feeding and managemental condition.
Regarding to all parameters collected, live weight and body weight gain were
significantly (p<0.01) higher in Cobb 500 than that of Hubbard Classic. Feed
intake and FCR was higher (p<0.01) in Cobb 500 than Hubbard classic group,
livability also higher in Hubbard classic strain than that of Cobb 500 broiler
strain. Higher net profit and lower production cost observed in Cobb 500 group
than that of Hubbard classic strain, although the differences between the
treatment groups were not statistically significant (P>0.05). In conclusion, Cobb
500 broiler strain is appeared to be the most economic to rear between the two
broiler strains investigated here in response to their performance records. | en_US |
