| Dissertation note | The aim of this experiment was to study the effect of various floor spaces on the performance of broilers kept in cages. One hundred and twenty day old (Indian River of Hybred Pakistan Ltd) chicks were reared for the experimental units of 36 birds each and were kept on 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0 sq. foot floor space per bird. They were fed on a commercial ration. The other conditions like temperature, humidity, light and ventilation were similar for all the groups. The broilers at the end of 8th week, gained an average live weight of 2.023,2.054 and 2.063 kg with a feed conversion ratio of 2.45, 2.43 and 2.41 at densities of 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0 sq. foot per bird respectively. No significant difference was observed on the three different floor spaces of 0.50,0.75 and 1.0 square foot per bird on cages for feed efficiency. The mean dressing percentage recorded were 64.3, 65.9 and 66.9 at 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0 sq.foot of floor space respectively at the end of experiment. The differences in dressing percentage were also statistically non significant. It is worth mentioning that no mortality was observed during whole of the experimental period. Suggestions At the end of experiment it was found that broilers can be reared in cages at a density of 0.5 sq. foot efficiently and economically up to the age of 8 weeks without any detrimental effect on the growth rate and feed conversion ratio. It is therefore recommended that the broilers should be kept at 0.5 sq. foot per bird in cages. |
