The study was undertaken on five thousand Hisex , Chittagong for a period of 14/09/2010 to 14/10/2010 to observe housing ,feeding ,lighting ,disease control practices of Hisex Brown birds under controlled housing system. The production performance was compared at 6 to 7 months of laying period under slat system in controlled house.

The selected farm supplied average 25.4gm,61.5gm and 113.38gm for starter(0-5wks),grower(6-17wks) and layer(18-50wks) for a day and the average body weight gain was 248.2,1171.67gm and 2145.21gm respectively for female .The average hen house egg production (24th-50th week)was 85.03%.The peak production achieved at 26th of age and the value is 90% which constant 32 weeks age .The peak production was 26-32 weeks of age (Average 90.57%).Average hatchability (24th-50th)was 84.78 which is efficient.
