A Modified Feeding Regimen to Enhance The Reproductive Performance of Broiler Breeder Hens
Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Two groups of a broiler breeder batch were subjected to 5/7 day feeding regimens during rearing. Following the photostimulation, one group (House A) was changed into daily feeding at their first egg according to the conventional manner. The other group (House B) was changed into daily feeding at 23% hen day production. Both groups reached peak feed allowance of 150g/bird/day at 60% hen day production which was continued until both passed their peak production period. The weekly hen-day production was greater (P< 0.05) in House B from 25th to 39th week except in the 38th week. The hatching egg production also showed similar results, i.e. 162.3 and 172.3 eggs/ hen housed in House A and B respectively(P< 0.05). However, House B had consumed 367g/bird more feed compared to House A. Although the birds consumed more feed in House B, these results suggest that the novel feeding regimen applied is economical compared to conventional feeding regimen.
