Effects of breeds and diets on growth rate, food consumption and abdominal fat accumulation by two breeds of broiler chicken / Raut Yogendra    

Public ISBD in Proceedings of the 3rd national animal science convention; theme environmentally sustainable livestock production for poverty alleviation / Sherchand, Laxman     Title : Effects of breeds and diets on growth rate, food consumption and abdominal fat accumulation by two breeds of broiler chicken Material Type: printed text Authors: Raut Yogendra Publisher: Kathmandu : Nepal Animal Science Association (NASA) Publication Date: 1997 Pagination: 121-126 .p Keywords: Animal  production;  Pasture;  Feed  crops;  nutrition;  breeding;  Fisheries;  Livestock Abstract: The experiment was primarily designed to examine the effect of genotype, protein energy ratio and their interaction on growth and body composition in broilers. One hundred and twenty eight birds were involved in the experiment. Experiment was arranged with 2x2 factorial design. Two breeds were examined in the experiment, i.e. Biadia (B) and Australian Poultry (A) with two levels of protein diets, HP (12.52 MJ ME/kg, P = 252 g/kg) and LP (13.8 MJ ME/kg, P = 220 g/kg). The experiment was conducted up to 35 days from hatching (i.e. with day old chicks). For the first seven days, all the chicks were fed with normal starter standard feed  Experimental diets were given from  the seventh day onward Biadia chicks were found to be superior in growth rate (P<0.05%) and weight gain irrespective of diets. There was no any significant difference observed in Feed Efficiency among breeds and diets. However, the diets with high protein content was found to be significant in reducing abdominal fat accumulation (P<0.05%). No interactions were found between breeds and diets on growth and fat pad reduction.
