Thesis Abstract

Abstract
The poultry industry plays a crucial role in the global food supply chain by providing a significant source of protein for human consumption. In recent years, the focus has shifted towards enhancing the growth performance and health of poultry through innovative feeding strategies. This study aimed to investigate the effects of different feeding strategies on the growth performance and health of poultry. The research was conducted using a combination of experimental trials and data analysis to evaluate the impact of various feed formulations and feeding practices on poultry growth and health outcomes. Chapter One provides an introduction to the research topic, highlighting the background of the study, problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, structure of the thesis, and definition of key terms. Chapter Two presents a comprehensive literature review that synthesizes existing research on poultry nutrition, feed formulations, feeding strategies, and their effects on growth performance and health indicators in poultry. The review identifies gaps in the current knowledge and provides a theoretical framework for the study. Chapter Three outlines the research methodology, including the study design, sample selection, data collection methods, experimental procedures, and statistical analysis techniques. The chapter discusses the criteria for selecting different feeding strategies, the types of feed formulations used, and the specific parameters measured to evaluate growth performance and health outcomes in poultry. In Chapter Four, the findings of the study are presented and analyzed in detail. The results of the experimental trials and data analysis are discussed in relation to the research objectives, highlighting the effects of different feeding strategies on key performance indicators such as body weight gain, feed conversion ratio, mortality rates, and overall health status of poultry. Chapter Five concludes the thesis by summarizing the key findings, discussing their implications for the poultry industry, and providing recommendations for future research and practical applications. The study contributes to the existing knowledge base on poultry nutrition and feeding practices, offering insights into how different feeding strategies can be optimized to enhance the growth performance and health of poultry. In conclusion, this research provides valuable insights into the effects of different feeding strategies on the growth performance and health of poultry. By evaluating the impact of various feed formulations and feeding practices, this study contributes to the ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency and sustainability of poultry production systems. The findings have practical implications for poultry farmers, nutritionists, and policymakers seeking to optimize feeding strategies for better outcomes in poultry production.
