Project Abstract

Abstract
The poultry industry plays a crucial role in meeting the global demand for animal protein. Broiler chickens are one of the most commonly raised poultry species for meat production, and their growth performance is influenced by various factors, including feeding strategies. This study aimed to investigate the effect of different feeding strategies on the growth performance of broiler chickens. The research utilized a randomized controlled trial design, with a total of 200 broiler chickens allocated to four treatment groups. Each group was subjected to a different feeding strategy, including a standard commercial diet, an organic diet, a high-protein diet, and a low-protein diet. The growth performance parameters assessed included body weight gain, feed conversion ratio, and mortality rate. The results of the study revealed significant differences in growth performance among the different feeding strategies. Broiler chickens fed the high-protein diet exhibited the highest body weight gain, followed by those on the standard commercial diet. The organic diet group showed comparable growth performance to the standard diet group, while the low-protein diet group exhibited the lowest body weight gain. In terms of feed efficiency, broiler chickens on the high-protein diet had the best feed conversion ratio, indicating efficient nutrient utilization. Conversely, the low-protein diet group had the poorest feed efficiency, highlighting the importance of adequate protein intake for optimal growth performance in broiler chickens. Mortality rates were also monitored throughout the study, with the lowest mortality observed in the high-protein diet group, further emphasizing the positive impact of appropriate feeding strategies on broiler health and survival. Overall, the findings of this research suggest that different feeding strategies have a significant influence on the growth performance of broiler chickens. Optimal growth and feed efficiency were achieved with a high-protein diet, while suboptimal outcomes were observed with a low-protein diet. These results underscore the importance of tailored feeding strategies in maximizing the productivity and welfare of broiler chickens in the poultry industry. Further research is warranted to explore additional factors that may impact broiler growth performance and to refine feeding strategies for enhanced production outcomes.

Project Overview

The project titled "Effect 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 popular choice for poultry production due to their rapid growth rate and high feed conversion efficiency. The efficiency of feed utilization is crucial in maximizing growth performance and profitability in broiler production systems. Therefore, exploring different feeding strategies can provide valuable insights into optimizing growth performance while ensuring cost-effectiveness and sustainability in poultry production. The research will focus on comparing and evaluating the effects of different feeding strategies, such as varying nutrient composition, feed additives, feeding frequency, and feeding duration, on the growth performance of broiler chickens. By examining these factors, the study aims to identify the most effective feeding strategies that can enhance growth rates, improve feed conversion efficiency, and promote overall health and well-being of broiler chickens. Furthermore, the project will assess the economic implications of implementing different feeding strategies in broiler production systems. Understanding the cost-effectiveness of various feeding approaches is essential for poultry farmers to make informed decisions that balance growth performance outcomes with financial considerations. The research will be conducted through a series of controlled experiments, where different feeding strategies will be implemented and monitored to evaluate their impact on key growth performance indicators such as body weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, and mortality rate. Data collected from these experiments will be analyzed using statistical methods to determine the effectiveness of each feeding strategy in optimizing growth performance in broiler chickens. Overall, the findings from this research project are expected to contribute valuable insights to the poultry industry by providing evidence-based recommendations on the most effective feeding strategies for enhancing growth performance and profitability in broiler production systems. By understanding the relationship between feeding strategies and growth performance outcomes, poultry farmers can make informed decisions to optimize their production practices and ensure sustainable and efficient poultry production."
