Performance and Management of Broiler Parent Stock and Modeling for Egg Production

Abstract

The present study was conducted on broiler parent stock, Hubbard Classic in BRAC Poultry Project, Mirsarai, Chittagong, from 13th June to 4th July, 2009 to know the production performance and management of Hubbard Classic broiler parent stock and modeling on egg production of broiler parent stock. Firstly, the data about management (housing, feeding, and lighting) and production (hen house egg production, hatchability and chick production) were collected from their record book of current batch and estimates the average body weight, average feed intake, total egg production per bird, egg production(%), hatchability(%). The average body weight, average feed intake, total egg production, egg production(%), Hatchability(%) are 3412.48±137.77gms, 167.77±7.61gms, 170.99±1.01, 69.71±14.33(%), 94.56±9.93 (%), respectively. By using Regression equation the intercept, slope and of collected data are 4.46, 0.0097, 0.010 respectively. The result reveals that the predicted egg production was higher than the actual egg production.
