Description PG Thesis
A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of different levels of protein on the
growth performance, carcass characteristics and immunological parameters of Red
Cornish birds. A total of 448 day old Red Cornish chicks were randomly divided into
four dietary groups with four replicates containing 28 chicks in each replicate on
completely randomized design. The experiment lasted for 56 days. Four dietary
treatments consisted of 19, 20, 21 and 22 per cent crude protein with constant energy
level of 2800 Kcal ME/kg during starter phase and 17, 18, 19 and 20 per cent crude
protein with constant energy level of 2900 Kcal ME/kg during finisher phase. Results
showed that different levels of protein had significant (P≤0.05) effect on body weight
gain, feed consumption, feed conversion ratio and weights of gizzard. Survivability,
sensory evaluation of meat, immune status (ND and IBD), dressing percentage ,
abdominal fat percentage and weights of liver and heart of Red Cornish birds fed with
varying levels of protein showed no significant difference (P≥0.05). Thus, it is concluded
that the optimum protein requirement for Red Cornish birds is 22 per cent during starter
phase and 20 per cent during finisher phase.
