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.

Thesis Overview

The project titled "Effect of Different Feeding Strategies on Growth Performance in Broiler Chickens" aims to investigate the impact of various feeding strategies on the growth performance of broiler chickens. This research is essential as the poultry industry continues to seek ways to optimize production efficiency and improve the overall quality of broiler meat. By exploring different feeding approaches, this study aims to provide valuable insights into the most effective strategies for enhancing the growth and development of broiler chickens. The research will involve a comprehensive review of existing literature on broiler nutrition and growth performance to establish a strong theoretical foundation for the study. Various feeding strategies, including different feed formulations, feeding frequencies, and supplementation techniques, will be evaluated to determine their effects on growth parameters such as weight gain, feed conversion ratio, and overall health status of broiler chickens. Furthermore, the study will incorporate a practical component where different feeding strategies will be implemented in a controlled experimental setting. The growth performance of broiler chickens under each feeding strategy will be closely monitored and assessed over a specified period. Data collected will be analyzed using statistical methods to identify significant differences in growth outcomes among the various feeding groups. The findings of this research are expected to contribute valuable insights to the poultry industry by identifying the most effective feeding strategies for optimizing growth performance in broiler chickens. Ultimately, this study aims to provide practical recommendations to poultry farmers and industry stakeholders on how to enhance the productivity and profitability of broiler production through strategic feeding practices.
