MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AND PRODUCTION PERFORMANCES OF BROILER PARENT STOCK (HUBBARD CLASSIC) RAISED UNDER CONTROL HOUSING SYSTEM OF BASH POULTRY FARM, PARAGON LOCATED AT GAZIPUR

Abstract

The study was conducted to get an idea on the management practices and production performances of broiler parent stock (Hubbard Classic) raised under control housing system of Bash Poultry Farm(Paragon Poultry Farm) at Gazipur. The study was undertaken with 11000 broiler parent stock (Hubbard Classic) (male-1000, female-10000). Result related with the average body weight gain at breeder stage (24th week – 48th week) of Hubbard Classic female and male birds was 3359.16 and 4276.92 gm respectively. The hen day egg production of the flock was 47.74%, 84.58%, 79.15%, 74.8% per week respectively at 24-30, 31-36, 37-42 and 43-48th week while the hatchability of eggs was observed in this farm was 85.08%, 91.54%, 93.07%, 92.52% per week respectively at the age of 24-30, 31-36, 37-42 and 43-48th week respectively. It may therefore be inferred that Hubbard Classic broiler parent stock performs well under control housing system in our country.
