Abstract
The experiment was conducted to determine the effect of artificial insemination (AI) on different production parameter in Hubbard Classic Broiler breeder parent stock. A total number of 300 female and 30 male Hubbard Classic broiler breeder parent stock birds were used as experimental animals and parameter recorded are: Health condition and body weight of birds, % of Production, % Hatchability,% Uniformity, grade A chicks, mortality % , hatching egg % & effect of diluents use, birth weight of day old chick (DOC). Significant variation (p<0.01) was observed in number of hatched birds, % of hatchability, production of total no of Grade A chicks, total number of damaged chicks and average chick weight. In the study, hatchability (%), production (%), growth and puberty weight (g) were significantly higher during post insemination compared to pre insemination stage, where as mortality (%) and uniformity (%) were significantly lower in case of post insemination stage. Body weight and uniformity (%) of birds either both sexes were significantly (p<0.01) different in birds at pre insemination stage compared to the birds at insemination. To be mentioned that body weight of birds was negatively correlated to the uniformity. Finally it could be concluded that AI may be better in all the parameters observed in this study than natural mating. So, AI can be practiced in Hubbard Classic broiler breeder parent stock.J.

Summary
Poultry is the most vital and prominent industry for economic development in Bangladesh. Through the number of farms and birds are increasing competitively, the management technologies and other necessary information are not available to the farmers which may affect the performance of broiler parents. The performance data the effect of parent body weight on reproductive performance under Bangladesh conditions are lacking. Body weight effect egg weight, fertility and hatchability of breeders. At the onset of laying the eggs become smaller and Effect of Artificial Insemination on broiler increasing in size with the increasing age. Artificial Insemination (AI) in poultry is a process by which semen is collected from male birds & introduces to female for the purpose of fertilizing eggs. Present study was conducted with the objectives of examining the effect of artificial insemination & to know the different production parameter in Hubbard Classic broiler parent stock pre & post insemination
