Study of broiler chicken performance with different lighting time and vitamin B-Complex doses in close house

Abstract

This study was conducted to analyze the performance of broiler chickens after receiving different exposure times and doses of vitamin B complex injection in a close house. Broiler chickens reared from DOC will get different lighting treatment and dose of vitamin B complex injection from 15 to 31 days of age. The treatments were N1 (24 hours), N2 (22 hours) and N3 (20 hours) while the doses of vitamin B complex were given at V0 (0.0 cc), V1 (0.5 cc), V2 (1 0.0 cc), and V3 (1.0 + vitamin A D E, 0.2 cc). Chickens will be placed in research plots each containing 36 birds with a separate plot design method. The results obtained in the analysis of feed consumption and body weight gain showed a very significant effect, FCR and IP did not show a significant effect and with dose treatment did not show a significant interaction. The conclusions obtained is to achieve maximum performance in broiler rearing, 24-hour lighting is needed, which can affect feed consumption and body weight gain of chickens. There is no stress effect so that the injection of vitamin B complex does not really need to be given into the chicken’s body.
