Chapter Two presents a comprehensive literature review, discussing ten key studies related to feeding strategies in broiler chickens. The review explores various feeding methods, nutritional requirements, and their effects on growth performance and feed efficiency. Chapter Three details the research methodology employed in this study. It includes the research design, sampling techniques, data collection methods, experimental procedures, and statistical analysis. The chapter provides insights into how the research was conducted to investigate the impact of different feeding strategies on broiler chicken growth performance and feed efficiency. Chapter Four presents the findings of the study, discussing the effects of different feeding strategies on growth performance indicators such as body weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, and mortality rate. The results provide valuable insights into the relationship between feed composition, feeding frequency, and growth parameters in broiler chickens. The concluding Chapter Five summarizes the key findings of the study and discusses their implications for poultry producers and researchers. The research contributes to the existing knowledge on optimizing feeding strategies to enhance growth performance and feed efficiency in broiler chickens. Recommendations for future research and practical applications are also provided to guide further investigations in this field. In conclusion, this thesis highlights the importance of selecting appropriate feeding strategies to improve growth performance and feed efficiency in broiler chickens. By understanding the impact of different feeding practices, poultry producers can maximize productivity, increase profitability, and contribute to sustainable poultry production practices.

Thesis Overview

The project titled "Investigating the impact of different feeding strategies on growth performance and feed efficiency in broiler chickens" aims to explore the influence of various feeding approaches on the growth performance and feed efficiency of broiler chickens. Broiler chickens are a vital component of the poultry industry, and optimizing their growth and feed utilization is crucial for sustainable and efficient production. This research project will delve into the diverse feeding strategies that can be implemented in broiler chicken production systems. By assessing the effects of different feeding methods, such as varying nutrient compositions, feed formulations, feeding frequencies, and feeding durations, the study aims to determine which strategies are most effective in promoting optimal growth and feed efficiency in broiler chickens. The project will involve conducting controlled feeding trials with broiler chickens, where different feeding strategies will be implemented and their impact on growth performance parameters, such as body weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, and overall health status, will be monitored and analyzed. By collecting and analyzing data on these key performance indicators, the research aims to provide valuable insights into the most efficient and sustainable feeding practices for broiler chickens. Furthermore, the project will consider the economic implications of implementing different feeding strategies in broiler chicken production. By evaluating the cost-effectiveness of various feeding approaches in relation to growth performance and feed efficiency outcomes, the study seeks to provide practical recommendations for poultry producers to optimize their feeding practices while maximizing profitability. Overall, this research overview outlines a comprehensive investigation into the impact of different feeding strategies on growth performance and feed efficiency in broiler chickens. By shedding light on the most effective and sustainable feeding practices for broiler chicken production, this project aims to contribute to the advancement of poultry industry practices and enhance the productivity and profitability of broiler chicken farming operations.
