Comparative study on performance of Cobb 500 broiler parent
stock in paharika breeder farm with the company standard.
Abstract
Study was conducted in Paharika Breeder Farm Ltd. Fatikchari of Chittagong district from 1st march to 30th march 2012.The objective of this study was the statistical analysis of the performance of Cobb 500 broiler parent stock of the breeder farm. The results of this study reveals that the variation of performance in the farm was statistically non significant. The average performance of the livability percentage, feed consumption rate, body weight gain,egg production percentage, hatching egg percentage and hatchability percentage of Paharika Breeder Farm were 96.20±2.10%, 151.63±8.85gm, 3930.19±248.62gm, 65.13±14.57%, 60.07±14.72%
and 79.33±4.39% respectively.due to managemental variation(eg- vaccination, medication, lighting, etc.) and environmental variation,the varience of some parameters are statistically significant like feed consumption,body weight and hatchability.The varience of other parameters were statistically non significant. Therefore, it may be inferred that,cobb 500 performed well in that breeder farm.
Key words : Cobb 500, Performance, Management, Paharika breeder farm.
