Title : Evaluation of Production Performance of Different Coloursofgllurajachicken Material Type: printed text Authors: SB Shrestha, Author ; RB Sah, Author Pagination: 259-263 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: A study was conducted to know the effect of colour on growth rate and egg production of Giriraja chicken,
maintained at Poultry Research Program, RARS, Tarahara. 'Observation was taken on 2.11 chicks of Giriraja
chicken. The average body weight at day old, 211d, 4th, 6th, 8th, lOth and 1ih weeks were measured. The birds
were divided in to 4 colour groups viz; Red, Black, Dark black with white spot (Koude) and Ash colour. The
average body weights at day old were 0.35±0.025, 0.43±0.026, 0.42±0.01, 0.48±0.03Kg. in Red , Black,
Dark black with white spot(Koude), and Ash colour respectively, which was significantly different between
the groups. The average weight of chicks at 4th week, 8th week and 12th week were
0.82±0.049,0. 790.051 ,0.86±0.052, 1.07±0.244; 1. 74±0.08, 1.81±0.04, 1.88±0.09 , 1. 74±0.08, and 2.29±0.03,
2.04±0.15, 2.02±0.08 and 2.00±0.07 Kg. in Red, Black, Dark black with white spot(Koude) and Ash color
respectively. The statistical analysis revealed that from 2nd to 12th week there were not significantly different
between the colour group in body weight. At 13 weeks of age chicks were divided in 4 groups according to
their colour. The hen day production performance was recorded. The overall hen day production
performance was 45 percent. In four different colour groups hen day production percentage were 48, 41, 43
and 55 for the colour group Koude. Black, Ash, and Red respectively. The analysis on egg production
showed that non-significant difference between the colour groups. As the variation in growth and egg
production between the groups was non-significant, the choice of colour might be merely the farmer's
preference on colourLink for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=343 Evaluation of Production Performance of Different Coloursofgllurajachicken [printed text] / SB Shrestha, Author ; RB Sah, Author . - [s.d.] . - 259-263 p.

Title : Intensive Management Of Dual-Purpose Chicken As Potential Income Generating Option For Medium Farmers Material Type: printed text Authors: Dhaubhadel, T.S., Author ; M. Karki, Author ; SB Shrestha, Author Pagination: 135-140 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: Comparative performance of New Hampshire, Black Australorp and Giriraja was studied at Swine and
Avian Research Program, Khumaltar during Feb to July of 2005. The observation on feed intake, weight
gain and mortality was taken from day-old chicks to 12 weeks of age. All experimental birds were fed with
commercial broilers feed (Ratna feed) and were reared under similar management.
Significant (<0.001) effect of breed on body weight was observed with Giriraja above others. Effect of sex and
season on body weight was also found significant (P<O.OO I). Irrespective of breed, higher weight was obtained
with birds reared in Feb- May compared to May-July. At twelve-week of age, higher body weight was observed
for Giriraja male ( 1.82 kg), followed by Giriraja female ( 1.46 kg) and New Hampshire male {1.23 kg) with
cumulative FCR of 3.55, 3.65 and 3.83, respectively. Irrespective of sex and season, Giriraja exhibited better
FCR than others in all weeks of rearing. The better FCR was observed for bird reared in Feb- May season. The
cumulative mortality was found as 6.64%, 9.95% and 16.29% for New Hampshire, Black Australorp and
Giriraja, respectively. Up to 12 weeks of rearing, higher saving per bird was observed for Giriraja (Rs50.63),
followed by New Hampshire (Rs 18.4) and Black Australorp (Rs 12.74). The finding of the present study
revealed that these dual-purpose breeds have potentiality to be competitive meat producer in intensive
management. Feb-May season is favorable for dual-purpose chicken rearing than May-July in tenns of higher
growth, better feed efficiency and saving per birds but need for proper health management in future. Heaviest
body weight with having better feed efficiency and higher saving per bird of 12 week rearing of Giriraja
suggesting that it may be the choice of economically viable intensive farming for medium farmers whereas
New Hampshire and Black Australorp are appeared to be suitable for semi-intensive and scavenging
management.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=288 Intensive Management Of Dual-Purpose Chicken As Potential Income Generating Option For Medium Farmers [printed text] / Dhaubhadel, T.S., Author ; M. Karki, Author ; SB Shrestha, Author . - [s.d.] . - 135-140 p.
