| dc.description | Economy of Bangladesh is vibrant due to the sustainable agricultural development where
livestock is an integrated part (Madhur and Rashid, 2016) that provides 14.21% in
agricultural Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and 3.40% in national GDP (BER, 2017).
Currently, livestock population density in Bangladesh is the highest (145/sq. km) as
compared to those of India (90/sq. km) and Brazil (20/sq. km) (BARC, 2015). The
livestock resources of Bangladesh are mainly based on cattle, goat, sheep, buffalo, and
poultry, and contribute in family income generation as well as a source of protein in rural
Bangladesh. The country has 240.86 million cattle, 261.1 million goat, 34.68 million
sheep, 14.85 million buffalo, 2821.45 million chicken and 558.53 million duck (DLS,
2018). It is estimated that about 20% of earning population of Bangladesh are directly
and 50% indirectly engaged in livestock and poultry production (Sarker et al., 2013). | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | This study was carried out at the department of Dairy and Poultry Science, Hajee
Mohammad Danesh Science and Technology University to evaluate the efficacy of
Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) seeds on performance of broiler. A total of 96,
day old chicks were randomly divided into four dietary treatment groups namely T0, T1,
T2 and T3 having three (03) replications in each treatment group. Brooded chicks were
randomly separated into replications wise separate pen to rear up to 3 weeks. Each
treatment group contains 24 birds whereas each replication contains 8 birds.
Experimental birds in T1, T2 and T3 were provided Fenugreek seeds meal @ 0.5%, 1%
and 1.5% of feed while 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 T3 (1417.68±5.97g) compared to
T2 (1362.03±9.63g), T1 (1293.48±24.77g) and T0 (1250.41±7.33g) respectively. This
result also indicated that feed efficiency were increased at dose rate 1.5% Fenugreek
seeds meal in T3 (1.36±0.99) compared to T2 (1.39±0.90), T1 (1.42±0.30) and control T0
group (1.45±1.02) respectively. In case of meat yield parameters there was significant
(P<0.05) difference among treatment groups except liver weight. The carcass weight was
significantly (P<0.05) higher in T3 group compared to the control group. The lowest feed
cost was found in T0 and highest profit in T3 group.
Based on the result it could be concluded that Fenugreek seed meal @ 1.5% can be used
as growth promoter for production of chicken. | en_US |
