| dc.description | Bangladesh is considered as one of the most appropriate countries in the world for
rearing poultry. The poultry industry plays a crucial role in economic growth and
simultaneously, creates numerous employment opportunities (Shamsuddoha and Sohel,
2003). Poultry plays a vital role in the rural socio-economic system as maximum
households are directly involved in domestic rearing poultry farming. Around 22 core
poultry are remaining in Bangladesh (DLS, 2016). About 44 percent of daily human
intake of animal protein comes from livestock products. The poultry industry has been
supplying quality protein to the people of Bangladesh at the low price. Poultry Industry
is one of the fastest growing segments of the agricultural sector today in Bangladesh and
has become a means of improving the economy of the farming community due to its
enhanced production performance. Apart from improving the livelihood, it also provides
protein to the people. The poultry sector in Bangladesh is dynamic and has potential for
rapid poverty reduction through income generation and employment creation. As
commercial poultry farming gains in popularity, employment opportunities are created
for rural farmers, retailers, traders, service providers, entrepreneurs etc. (Saleque, 2009;
Dolberg, 2008). | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | This study was conducted at the department of Dairy and Poultry Science, Hajee
Mohammad Danesh Science and Technology University, Dinajpur. An experiment was
conducted to evaluate the performance and antibacterial effect of basak on sonali
chicken. A total of 120 day old chicks were randomly divided into five treatment groups
namely (T0, T1, T2, T3 and T4) having three replications in each treatment group. Brooded
chicks were randomly separated into replications wise separate pen to rear up to 8 weeks.
Each treatment group contains 27 birds whereas each replication contains 09 birds.
Experimental birds in T1, T2 and T3 were provided basak leaves powder meal @ 1.5%,
3% and 4.5% of feed while T4 provided growth promoter and T0 was provided only
normal feed was considered as control group. The results of this study was indicated that
final live weight gain and feed efficiency of birds was significantly (p<0.05) higher in T1
group (735.78±6.39g) that received @1.5%basak leaves powder meal compared to
control T0 group (620.26±3.78g). This result also indicated that body weight gain, and
feed efficiency were increased at dose rate 1.5% basak leaves meal. In case of meat yield
parameters there was no significant (P>0.05) difference among treatment groups except
carcass weight, breast meat weight and dressing percentage. The breast meat weight,
carcass weight and dressing percentage was significantly (p<0.05) higher in treatment T1
group compared to control group. In bacteriological test E. coli and Salmonella load was
decreased significantly in treatment group as compared to the control group. The lowest
feed cost was found in T1 and highest in T4 group. Net profit Tk. was found maximum in
T1 (40.9±2) followed by T2 (27±4), T3 (22.4±4) T0 (20.7±3.2) and T4 (19.7±2.0)
respectively. Based on the result it could be concluded that basak leaves meal @ 1.5%
can be used as growth promoter for production of chicken. | en_US |
