STUDY ON PRODUCTION PERFORMANCE OF BROILER PARENT STOCK (COBB-500) IN CP BANGLADESH COMPANY LIMITED AT MIRAISARI, CHITTAGONG

Abstract

Study was conducted in CP Bangladesh Company Ltd. Miraisarai of Chittagong district. The objective of this study was to know the performance of Cobb 500 broiler parent stock of the breeder farm. The results of this study reveals that the variation of performance in the farm was statistically non significant. The average performance of the livability percentage, feed consumption rate, body weight gain, egg production percentage, hatching egg percentage and hatchability percentage of the breeder farm were 96.20±2.10%, 151.63±8.85gm, 3930.19±248.62gm, 65.13±14.57%, 60.07±14.72% and 79.33±4.39% respectively.due to managemental variation(eg- vaccination, medication, lighting, etc.) and environmental variation, the variance of some parameters are statistically significant like feed consumption, body weight and hatchability. The variance of other parameters were statistically non significant. Therefore, it may be inferred that cobb 500 performed well in that breeder farm.
