Quantitative analysis of production through evaluation of inputs consumption quantity is of main principles in agricultural policies, which is followed by increasing in production through optimal use of resources. This study has been conducted to estimate different types of production functions in mechanized farms of broiler chicks located in Gorgan city. Cross-section survey data were gathered...

Broiler chick performance using Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast cell wall as an anti-mycotoxin additive | Vinícius Machado dos Santos, Gabriel da Silva Oliveira, Cristina Amorim Ribeiro de Lima, Fernando Augusto Curvello Agricultural Journals

the price fluctuations of chicken and its production inputs are one of the main challenges in broiler industry which affects the producer and consumer‘s welfare. this study investigates the price fluctuations of broiler and the price fluctuations of the two important inputs of broiler production -e.g. one day-old chick and soybean meal- in tehran province. to achieve the purpose, the non-linear...

A total of 1,800 incubating eggs produced by a commercial flock of Cobb broiler breeders was used to determine the effects of storage duration (3 or 18 d) on spread of hatch and chick quality. Chick relative growth (RG) at the end of 7 d of rearing was also determined as a measure of the chick performance. Chick quality was defined to encompass several qualitative characteristics and scored acc...

Two Hundred and six day old Fulani Ecotype chicks (FEC)were used to investigate the effect of feeding two types diet (Chick starter Broiler formulated meet standard nutritional requirement pullets broiler chicks) on growth traits performance from O 8 weeks. The contained 23% Crude Protein (CP) 3000Kcal/kg Metabolizable Energy (ME), Chick 21% CP 2800Kcal/Kg ME. measured were body weight (BW), le...

A 3 × 3 factorial experiment with three levels of fennel extract (FE) (0, 50, and 100 mg/kg of diet) and three levels of added vitamin D3 (Vit D3) (0, 3500 and 4200 IU/kg of diet), was carried out to evaluate reproductive performanceand immune response of post molted broiler breeders(76-84 weeks).Broiler breeders were weighed at 10 week after molting (74 weeks) then randomly distributed into 36...

Broiler parent stock of 7851 Cobb-500, 8388 Ross and 8745 Hubbard-Hi-Yield were reared in controlled (slated cum floor system) house to determine the egg production performance, fertility and hatchability. A total of 151200 hatching eggs of Cobb-500, Ross and Hubbard-Hi-Yield broiler strain were collected and set in the incubator in 10 batches having 15120 eggs in each batch and 5040 eggs in ea...
