Effect of feed restriction on the performance of broiler chicken during winter season Bhat G.A., Banday M.T. Department of Poultry Science, Faculty of Veterinary Sciences and Animal Husbandry, S.K. University of Agricultural Sciences & Technology, Shuhama Alusteng Srinagar Kashmir, Post Box No. 135, GPO-Srinagar 190001. Abstract An experiment was carried out on 128 broiler chicks during the months of February and March 1999 to study the influelice of restricted feeding on their performance from 1 to 42 days of age. Reduction in feeding hours (50%) was applied by of fering the feed daily from 7 AM to 7 PM only. Due to restricted feeding there was an adverse effect (p<0.05) on feed consumption and weight gain but feed conversion efficiency remained unaffected. A reduction (p<0.05) in mortality was recorded in treatment group than the control one. It was concluded that mortality due to various factors (ascities & sudden death syndrome) could be reduced by reducing feeding hours during winter season. Top Key words Broiler, feed consumption, feed conversion ratio, mortality. Top | |
