Effect of Different Feeding Strategies on Growth Performance in Broiler Chickens

Thesis Abstract

Abstract
The poultry industry plays a crucial role in meeting the growing demand for protein-rich food globally. Broiler chickens are reared for meat production, and their growth performance is influenced by various factors, including feeding strategies. This study aimed to investigate the effect of different feeding strategies on the growth performance of broiler chickens. The research was conducted over a specified period and involved the comparison of traditional feeding methods with innovative feeding approaches. Chapter One provides an introduction to the research topic, highlighting the background of the study, problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, structure of the thesis, and key definitions of terms. Chapter Two presents a comprehensive literature review covering ten essential aspects related to broiler chicken nutrition, growth performance, and various feeding strategies adopted in the poultry industry. Chapter Three details the research methodology, including the study design, sample size determination, data collection methods, experimental setup, feeding protocols, and statistical analysis techniques. This chapter also discusses ethical considerations and potential biases that may have influenced the research outcomes. Chapter Four presents a detailed discussion of the research findings, focusing on the growth performance metrics such as body weight gain, feed conversion ratio, and mortality rate observed in broiler chickens subjected to different feeding strategies. The results are analyzed, and the implications of each feeding approach on the overall growth performance of broiler chickens are critically evaluated. In Chapter Five, the conclusion and summary of the thesis are provided, highlighting the key findings, implications for the poultry industry, research limitations, and recommendations for future studies. The study contributes valuable insights into optimizing feeding strategies to enhance the growth performance of broiler chickens, ultimately improving the efficiency and sustainability of meat production in the poultry sector.
