Thesis Abstract

Abstract
The broiler chicken industry plays a crucial role in meeting the growing global demand for poultry meat. In order to optimize production efficiency and profitability, it is essential to explore various feeding strategies that can enhance the growth performance of broiler chickens. This study investigated the effects of different feeding strategies on the growth performance of broiler chickens, with a focus on identifying the most effective approach to promote efficient growth and development in these birds. Chapter 1 of the thesis provides an introduction to the study, presenting the background of the research, the problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, structure of the thesis, and definitions of key terms. Chapter 2 presents a comprehensive literature review on ten key aspects related to broiler chicken nutrition and growth performance, including feed composition, feeding practices, growth promoters, and feed additives. Chapter 3 details the research methodology employed in this study, covering various aspects such as experimental design, sample collection, data analysis techniques, and statistical methods. The chapter also discusses the different feeding strategies tested and the specific parameters measured to evaluate growth performance in broiler chickens. Chapter 4 presents a detailed discussion of the findings obtained from the study, analyzing the effects of the different feeding strategies on growth performance indicators such as body weight gain, feed conversion ratio, and mortality rate. The chapter also explores the mechanisms underlying the observed effects and discusses the practical implications of the results for broiler chicken producers and the poultry industry as a whole. Finally, Chapter 5 provides a conclusion and summary of the key findings of the study, highlighting the most effective feeding strategies identified for enhancing the growth performance of broiler chickens. The chapter also discusses the implications of the study findings for future research directions and practical applications in the broiler chicken production sector. Overall, this thesis contributes valuable insights into the optimization of feeding strategies to improve the growth performance of broiler chickens, offering practical recommendations for poultry farmers and stakeholders seeking to enhance productivity and sustainability in the poultry industry.

Thesis Overview

The project titled "Effects of Different Feeding Strategies on Growth Performance of Broiler Chickens" aims to investigate the impact of various feeding strategies on the growth performance of broiler chickens. Broiler chickens are a vital component of the poultry industry, and optimizing their growth is crucial for efficient production and profitability. This research seeks to address the existing knowledge gap regarding the effectiveness of different feeding strategies in enhancing the growth performance of broiler chickens. The study will explore various feeding strategies, including different types of feed, feeding frequencies, and nutrient compositions, to determine their effects on growth parameters such as body weight gain, feed conversion ratio, and overall health of the broiler chickens. By evaluating the performance of broiler chickens under different feeding regimens, this research aims to provide valuable insights into the most effective strategies for maximizing growth and productivity in broiler production systems. Furthermore, the project will investigate the potential economic implications of implementing different feeding strategies in broiler production. By assessing the cost-effectiveness and profitability of various feeding approaches, this research aims to provide practical recommendations for poultry farmers aiming to optimize growth performance while minimizing production costs. Overall, this research project is significant as it has the potential to contribute to the development of sustainable and efficient practices in broiler chicken production. The findings from this study are expected to benefit poultry farmers, researchers, and stakeholders in the poultry industry by providing evidence-based recommendations for enhancing the growth performance of broiler chickens through the implementation of effective feeding strategies.
