Study on nutritional status of broiler chicken commercial farming at Anwara Upazila in Chittagong.

Abstract

The study was designed to ascertain the effect of four commercial broiler feed used in Anwara upazila on production performance of broiler chickens. Keeping this view in mind, four farms were encounted to collect data and to compare the performance of broilers under four dietary groups in four farms. The body weight gain was highest in that group who had Nourish feed on the other hand the group had Newhope feed show high trend of feed consumption. Feed conversion ratio was lowest (1.5:1) incase of group who had Nourish feed. On analytical point of view, Nourish feed contain 22.2 % CP and 2704.75 kcal/kg ME which was approximately similar to the requirement of grower. There was a negative correlation between the Value of CP and FCR (r=-0.56). At the same time ME and FCR was also negatively correlated (r=-0.16).That means higher ME and CP gave lower FCR.
