Overall, this thesis underscores the significance of adopting tailored feeding strategies to maximize the growth potential of broiler chickens and meet the growing demand for high-quality poultry products in the agricultural industry.

Thesis Overview

The project titled "Investigating the impact of different feeding strategies on the growth performance of broiler chickens" aims to address the crucial question of how various feeding strategies can influence the growth and overall performance of broiler chickens. Broiler chickens are a primary source of meat production worldwide, making it essential to optimize their growth potential through effective feeding practices. The research will delve into exploring and comparing different feeding strategies, such as varying feed compositions, feeding schedules, and feeding amounts, to determine their impact on the growth performance of broiler chickens. By conducting this study, valuable insights can be gained into which feeding strategies are most effective in promoting optimal growth rates, feed efficiency, and overall health of the birds. The project will involve collecting data on the growth parameters of broiler chickens, including weight gain, feed consumption, and feed conversion ratios, under different feeding strategies. Statistical analyses will be performed to evaluate the significance of the findings and identify trends or patterns that may emerge from the data. Additionally, the research will consider factors such as cost-effectiveness, practicality, and sustainability of the various feeding strategies to provide a comprehensive assessment of their overall impact on broiler chicken growth performance. The ultimate goal is to contribute to the advancement of knowledge in poultry nutrition and provide practical recommendations for poultry farmers to optimize their feeding practices for improved productivity and profitability. By shedding light on the relationship between feeding strategies and broiler chicken growth performance, this research has the potential to inform industry practices, guide future research efforts, and ultimately enhance the sustainability and efficiency of broiler chicken production systems.
