Thesis Abstract

Abstract
The poultry industry plays a crucial role in meeting the growing demand for animal protein worldwide. Broiler chickens are one of the most popular sources of meat, and their growth performance is influenced by various factors, including feeding regimes. This study aimed to investigate the effects of different feeding regimes on the growth performance of broiler chickens. Chapter One of the thesis provides an introduction to the research topic, background information, problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, structure of the thesis, and definitions of key terms. Chapter Two presents a comprehensive literature review covering ten key aspects related to broiler chicken nutrition and growth performance. The review synthesizes existing knowledge on the impact of feeding regimes on broiler growth. Chapter Three outlines the research methodology employed in this study, including details on the experimental design, sample size determination, data collection methods, feeding regimes tested, and statistical analysis techniques used. The chapter also discusses ethical considerations and potential limitations of the research methodology. Chapter Four presents a detailed discussion of the findings obtained from the study. The results of the experiments investigating the effects of different feeding regimes on broiler growth performance are analyzed and interpreted in this chapter. The discussion includes comparisons between the various feeding regimes and their impact on factors such as weight gain, feed conversion ratio, and overall health of the broiler chickens. Chapter Five serves as the conclusion and summary of the thesis. The key findings of the study are summarized, and their implications for the poultry industry are discussed. Recommendations for future research and practical applications of the study findings are also provided in this chapter. Overall, this thesis contributes to the understanding of how different feeding regimes can influence the growth performance of broiler chickens. The results of this study have the potential to inform poultry farmers and industry stakeholders about optimal feeding practices to enhance broiler growth and productivity.

Thesis Overview

The research project titled "Effects of Different Feeding Regimes on Growth Performance of Broiler Chickens" aims to investigate the impact of varying feeding regimes on the growth performance of broiler chickens. Broiler chickens are a popular choice for meat production due to their rapid growth rate and efficient feed conversion. The feeding regime plays a crucial role in determining the growth and overall performance of these birds. The project will delve into the various feeding regimes commonly used in broiler chicken production, including different feed compositions, feeding schedules, and feeding methods. By comparing and analyzing the effects of these different feeding regimes, the study seeks to identify the most effective approach to optimize the growth performance of broiler chickens. Key aspects to be explored in the research include the growth rate, feed efficiency, body weight gain, and overall health of the broiler chickens under different feeding regimes. The project will involve conducting controlled experiments where different groups of broiler chickens will be subjected to specific feeding regimens, and their growth performance will be monitored and evaluated over a specified period. Through this research, valuable insights can be gained regarding the relationship between feeding regimes and the growth performance of broiler chickens. The findings of the study are expected to provide practical recommendations for poultry farmers and industry stakeholders on how to enhance the growth and productivity of broiler chickens through optimized feeding practices. Ultimately, the project aims to contribute to the improvement of broiler chicken production practices for sustainable and efficient meat production.
