Thesis Abstract

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different feeding strategies on the growth performance of broiler chickens. The research was conducted to address the increasing demand for efficient and sustainable poultry production practices. The study focused on evaluating the impact of various feeding strategies on key growth performance parameters of broiler chickens, including body weight gain, feed conversion ratio, and overall health status. A comprehensive review of existing literature on poultry nutrition and feeding practices was conducted to provide a theoretical framework for the study. The literature review highlighted the importance of balanced nutrition in achieving optimal growth performance in broiler chickens. Various factors influencing feed efficiency and growth rates in poultry, such as feed composition, feeding frequency, and feeding methods, were explored. The research methodology involved a comparative analysis of three different feeding strategies conventional feed, organic feed, and probiotic-supplemented feed. A total of 300 broiler chickens were divided into three groups, with each group receiving one of the designated feeding strategies. The chickens were monitored over a 10-week period, during which their growth performance parameters were regularly measured and recorded. The results of the study indicated significant differences in growth performance among the three feeding strategy groups. Broiler chickens fed with probiotic-supplemented feed demonstrated the highest body weight gain and the most efficient feed conversion ratio. In contrast, broiler chickens fed with conventional feed showed lower growth rates and higher feed conversion ratios. The organic feed group also exhibited favorable growth performance compared to the conventional feed group. The findings of this study have important implications for poultry farmers and industry stakeholders seeking to improve the growth performance and overall health of broiler chickens. The results underscore the potential benefits of incorporating probiotics into poultry feed to enhance growth rates and feed efficiency. Additionally, the study contributes valuable insights into the impact of different feeding strategies on the growth performance of broiler chickens, thus providing a basis for further research and development in the field of poultry nutrition and management. In conclusion, this study sheds light on the significant effects of different feeding strategies on the growth performance of broiler chickens. The research findings emphasize the importance of optimal nutrition and feed management practices in achieving sustainable and efficient poultry production. By enhancing our understanding of the interplay between feeding strategies and growth outcomes in broiler chickens, this study contributes to the advancement of knowledge in animal science and provides practical recommendations for enhancing poultry farming practices.

Thesis Overview

The project titled "Effects of different feeding strategies on the growth performance of broiler chickens" aims to investigate how varying feeding strategies impact the growth performance of broiler chickens. Broiler chickens are a primary source of poultry meat globally, and their growth performance is influenced by various factors, with nutrition being a crucial component. This research seeks to explore how different feeding strategies, such as feed composition, feeding frequency, and feeding duration, can affect the growth rate, feed conversion ratio, and overall health of broiler chickens. By conducting this study, valuable insights can be gained into optimizing feeding practices to enhance the growth performance of broiler chickens, ultimately benefiting poultry farmers and the broader poultry industry. The research will involve implementing different feeding strategies on separate groups of broiler chickens and monitoring key performance indicators over a specified period. Data will be collected on parameters such as body weight gain, feed intake, feed efficiency, and mortality rates to evaluate the impact of each feeding strategy. Through a comprehensive analysis of the findings, this research aims to provide evidence-based recommendations on the most effective feeding strategies for maximizing the growth performance of broiler chickens. This research is significant as it addresses practical challenges faced by poultry farmers in optimizing production efficiency while ensuring animal welfare and product quality. Additionally, the outcomes of this study can contribute to the body of knowledge in animal science and inform future research in poultry nutrition and management practices.
