Abstract
An experiment was conducted with the intent to compare the growth performance of broilers housed under two different rearing systems (cage and floor) placed in three housing zones (near vent, middle and near variable speed fans). For this purpose, a total of 240 day old commercial broilers (Hubbard Classic) were reared on floor and cages divided into three above mentioned housing zones. Each treatment was replicated four times containing 10 birds apiece. Weekly data on feed intake, body weight gain, FCR and production efficiency factor (PEF) were recorded and analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) technique in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) under factorial arrangements and means were compared through Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMR). Results revealed that significantly (P
