Thesis Abstract

Abstract
The poultry industry plays a crucial role in meeting the growing demand for high-quality protein sources worldwide. Broiler chickens are one of the most commonly raised poultry species for meat production. The growth performance of broiler chickens is influenced by various factors, with feeding strategies being a key determinant. This study aimed to investigate the effects of different feeding strategies on the growth performance of broiler chickens. Chapter One provides an introduction to the research topic, highlighting the background, problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance of the study, structure of the thesis, and definition of key terms. Chapter Two presents a comprehensive literature review on ten key aspects related to feeding strategies and growth performance in broiler chickens. In Chapter Three, the research methodology is detailed, including the research design, sampling techniques, data collection methods, and statistical analysis procedures. The chapter also discusses ethical considerations, data validation techniques, and limitations of the methodology employed. Chapter Four presents the findings of the study, analyzing the growth performance data obtained from broiler chickens subjected to different feeding strategies. The discussion covers factors such as feed composition, feeding frequency, and feeding duration, and their impact on growth parameters such as body weight gain, feed conversion ratio, and mortality rate. Finally, Chapter Five provides a conclusion and summary of the research findings. The study revealed significant differences in growth performance among broiler chickens fed with different strategies. Recommendations for optimizing feeding practices to enhance growth performance and overall profitability in broiler production are discussed. In conclusion, this research contributes valuable insights to the poultry industry and serves as a reference for future studies on improving the growth performance of broiler chickens through innovative feeding strategies.

Thesis Overview

The project titled "Effects of Different Feeding Strategies on Growth Performance of Broiler Chickens" aims to investigate the impact of various feeding strategies on the growth performance of broiler chickens. Broiler chickens are a popular source of meat production worldwide, and optimizing their growth performance is crucial for the poultry industry. This research seeks to address the importance of nutrition in achieving optimal growth rates, feed conversion efficiency, and overall health of broiler chickens. The study will explore different feeding strategies, including variations in diet composition, feeding frequency, and feeding duration, to determine their effects on the growth performance of broiler chickens. By comparing the growth parameters such as body weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, and mortality rates among different feeding groups, this research aims to identify the most effective feeding strategy for maximizing the growth performance of broiler chickens. Additionally, the project will assess the nutritional requirements of broiler chickens at different stages of growth and development to ensure that the feeding strategies implemented meet their dietary needs. By analyzing the nutrient composition of different feed formulations and evaluating their effects on growth performance, this study will provide valuable insights into optimizing the nutritional management of broiler chickens for enhanced productivity and profitability in the poultry industry. Furthermore, the research will consider the economic implications of implementing different feeding strategies, taking into account factors such as feed cost, labor requirements, and potential savings in feed expenses. By conducting a cost-benefit analysis of the various feeding approaches, this study aims to provide practical recommendations for poultry farmers seeking to improve the growth performance of their broiler chickens while maintaining profitability. Overall, this research project on the "Effects of Different Feeding Strategies on Growth Performance of Broiler Chickens" is significant as it contributes to the advancement of knowledge in poultry nutrition and management practices. The findings of this study are expected to have practical implications for the poultry industry by offering evidence-based recommendations for optimizing the growth performance of broiler chickens through strategic feeding strategies.
