Thesis Abstract

Abstract
The poultry industry plays a crucial role in providing a sustainable source of protein for human consumption. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the use of dietary supplements to enhance the growth performance of broiler chickens. This study aimed to investigate the effects of different dietary supplements on the growth performance of broiler chickens. The research was conducted over a period of 12 weeks, during which broiler chickens were fed with various dietary supplements including probiotics, prebiotics, vitamins, and minerals. A total of 200 broiler chickens were randomly allocated to five treatment groups, with each group receiving a different dietary supplement. The growth performance parameters such as body weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, and mortality rate were monitored throughout the study. The results of the study indicated that dietary supplementation had a significant impact on the growth performance of broiler chickens. Broilers receiving specific dietary supplements showed improved body weight gain, reduced feed conversion ratio, and lower mortality rates compared to the control group. Furthermore, the type of dietary supplement used also influenced the growth performance of the broiler chickens. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into the potential benefits of using dietary supplements to enhance the growth performance of broiler chickens. The findings of this research have important implications for the poultry industry, as they can help in developing more effective strategies to improve the productivity and profitability of broiler chicken production. Further research is needed to explore the mechanisms underlying the effects of dietary supplements on broiler growth performance and to optimize their use in commercial poultry production.

Thesis Overview

The research project titled "Effects of different dietary supplements on the growth performance of broiler chickens" aims to investigate the impact of various dietary supplements on the growth performance of broiler chickens. Broiler chickens are one of the most commonly consumed sources of poultry meat globally, making their growth performance a critical aspect of poultry production. This study seeks to contribute valuable insights into optimizing the growth and overall health of broiler chickens through the strategic use of dietary supplements. The project will explore the effects of different types of dietary supplements, such as vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal extracts, on key performance indicators of broiler chickens. These indicators may include growth rate, feed conversion ratio, mortality rate, and overall health status. By evaluating the performance of broiler chickens fed with various dietary supplements, the study aims to identify the supplements that most effectively promote growth and enhance overall productivity in broiler chicken production systems. Understanding the effects of dietary supplements on broiler chicken growth performance is crucial for the poultry industry, as it can lead to improved production efficiency, higher quality meat products, and better overall profitability for poultry farmers. By conducting a comprehensive analysis of the impact of different supplements on broiler chicken growth, this research project seeks to provide evidence-based recommendations for optimizing feed formulations and management practices in poultry production. Through a combination of literature review, experimental studies, data analysis, and interpretation of results, this research project will provide valuable insights into the potential benefits of incorporating specific dietary supplements into broiler chicken diets. The findings of this study have the potential to inform poultry farmers, nutritionists, and other stakeholders in the poultry industry about effective strategies for enhancing the growth performance and overall health of broiler chickens through dietary interventions. Overall, the project on "Effects of different dietary supplements on the growth performance of broiler chickens" holds significant promise for advancing our understanding of how dietary supplements can positively influence the growth and productivity of broiler chickens. By shedding light on the impact of various supplements on key performance indicators, this research has the potential to drive improvements in poultry production practices and contribute to sustainable and efficient poultry farming operations.
