Abstract
This study was conducted in Campus of Live Sciences, Tulsipur, Dang in order to evaluate effect of different commercial feed on broiler’s performance. Totally, 265 chicks (of Cobb-500) were divided into 16 compartments and arranged in CRD. The study was conducted to determine the performance of different commercial feeds and economic analysis of Broiler chickens. Four treatments viz. Hypro, Dolphin, Khurak and Poshak were used. B0, B1 and B2 were given to each treatment for 0-14, 12-28 and 28-35 days respectively. Vaccination, disease control and other management practices were done accordingly. The body weight per bird was taken weekly and feed intake was measured similarly. The average daily feed intake and weight gain was found 88.925 and 61.41 gm respectively. 1.44 was the feed conversion ratio (FCR) and the mortality rate was 29.4%. Also it showed that only 28% of gain in weight is due to feed. The data on mean weight of chicken in first, second and third week was found to be non-significant. Among the various treatment, T4 (Poshak), T1 (Hypro), T1 (Hypro) gave highest mean weight of chicks in first, second and third week respectively. Statistical analysis also revealed significant differences among the treatment means in fourth and fifth week. Treatment T3 (Khurak) gave highest mean weight of chicks in fourth and fifth week.
