| dc.description | Bangladesh is a densely populated agriculture based country with 154 million people and
positioned currently 8th among all the countries of the world (UNFPA, 2012). The human
population growth in developed countries is stabilizing while that of developing
countries including Bangladesh is increasing rapidly. The depth and severity of poverty
is worse in rural areas, 80% of the total population lives in the rural areas that primarily
depend on a poorly developed agriculture for livelihood (BBS, 2014). The domestic
production of milk, meat and egg are 3.46, 2.33, and 7303 million tons in the 2011-2012
fiscal year against the demand of 13.50, 6.48, and 15392 million tons, respectively
(Hossain and Hassan, 2013). There is a deficit of 80% milk; 82% meat and 63% eggs
(FAO, 2008). Due to the severe poverty most of these people faces an acute deficiency of
animal protein sources, like meat, milk, egg etc. Poultry meat and eggs contribute
approximately 37% of total animal protein in the country (Ahmed and Islam, 1990). The
poultry sub-sector is considered an important avenue to reduce poverty and malnutrition
as well as unemployment problems of Bangladesh. There is a great possibility of growth
and expansion of this sector. Currently the farmers of this country are more interested in
layer farming. As a result, a huge amount of feed is required to sustain this growing
industry. On the other hand, higher price, quality feed and non-availability of feed
ingredients are major limitation for the growth and development of this enterprise, which
has direct influence on production cost. | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | This study was carried out to assess, examine and quantify the effect of dietary black
seed and methi supplementation on egg production and egg quality of laying hens at 20
to 36 week age from January to April, 2015. A total of fourty eight (48) Hisex Brown
hens of 20 weeks old were allocated to 4 groups, each containing hens. The hens in
individual cage were supplied fixed amount of feed (120gm/day) containing 18.5% CP
and 2725 Kcal ME/kg diet. Hens were randomly alloted to four (4) different dietary
treatments: T0: (control), T1: (black seed 2gm/kg), T2: (Methi 2gm/kg) and T3: (black
seed 2gm/kg and methi 2gm/kg). Body weight change, egg production, feed conversion
ratio, egg weight, egg size characteristics were recorded and compared. Shape index,
yolk index, albumen index, Haugh unit, shell thickness, per cent shell, percent albumen
and percent yolk parameters were also recorded. No. of egg production, total egg mass
production and feed conversion ratio increased at increasing level of black seed and
methi. But, there were no significant change of shell weight, shell percent, shell
thickness, shape index, albumin index, yolk index, and percent yolk have not showed
with increasing levels of black seed and methi (p>0.05) | en_US |
