Produktbeschreibung

This experiment was conducted to investigate Effect of diet forms and litter types on broiler performance .A total number of 1890 1 day old chicks of Sasso broiler were used. The study included nine groups of treatments, with two replicates for each treatment (18 pens); in factorial experimental design(3X3) three diet forms (pellet, mash and crumble) by three types of litters (sand, wheat straw and wood shaving litters). Results of Sasso broiler live BW at eight weeks of age, shows significant differences (P 0.05) was recorded among litter types and highly significant (P 0.001) among feed forms treatments. In that chicks fed diets of pellets or crumbs forms has highly significant superiority values over the chicks fed that of mash form through the 8-week. Also a highly significant difference (P 0.001) was attained with feed forms during period of 1-56 days of age. However, the differences among litter types of wheat straw or wood shaving in that respect were insignificant. FCR during the whole experimental period ranged between 1.69 (g feed/g gain) for the birds raised on wheat straw litter and fed pellet diet and 2.01 (g feed/g gain) for the birds raised on wheat straw litter.
