Thesis Abstract

Abstract
The poultry industry plays a crucial role in providing a sustainable source of protein to meet the dietary needs of the growing global population. The feeding regimen employed in poultry production significantly impacts the growth and development of birds, ultimately influencing productivity and profitability. This study aimed to investigate the effects of different feeding regimens on the growth and development of poultry. Chapter One provides an introduction to the study, presenting the background, problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, structure of the thesis, and definition of key terms. The literature review in Chapter Two explores ten key aspects related to poultry feeding regimens, growth, and development. Chapter Three details the research methodology, encompassing the research design, population and sample selection, data collection methods, data analysis techniques, and ethical considerations. Chapter Four presents a comprehensive discussion of the findings, analyzing the impact of various feeding regimens on the growth parameters, feed conversion efficiency, and overall development of poultry. The results are interpreted in light of existing literature and practical implications for poultry farmers. Finally, Chapter Five offers a conclusion and summary of the study, highlighting key findings, implications for practice, recommendations for future research, and concluding remarks. The findings of this study provide valuable insights into the optimization of feeding regimens to enhance the growth and development of poultry. By understanding the effects of different feeding strategies, poultry farmers can make informed decisions to improve productivity and ensure the welfare of their birds. This research contributes to the existing body of knowledge in animal science and offers practical implications for sustainable poultry production.

Thesis Overview

The project titled "Effects of Different Feeding Regimens on the Growth and Development of Poultry" aims to investigate and analyze the impact of various feeding regimens on the growth and development of poultry. Poultry farming is a significant sector in the agricultural industry, contributing to food production and economic growth globally. Understanding how different feeding practices influence the growth and development of poultry is crucial for optimizing production efficiency and ensuring animal welfare. The research will focus on comparing and evaluating the effects of diverse feeding regimens, including different types of feed, feed compositions, feeding schedules, and feeding methods, on the growth parameters and developmental aspects of poultry. Growth parameters such as body weight gain, feed conversion ratio, and mortality rate will be measured and analyzed to assess the effectiveness of each feeding regimen. Additionally, the research will investigate the impact of feeding regimens on the overall health, immune response, and physiological characteristics of poultry. By conducting this study, valuable insights can be gained into the optimal feeding practices that promote the growth and development of poultry. The findings of this research can benefit poultry farmers, nutritionists, and policymakers in making informed decisions regarding feeding strategies to enhance poultry productivity and welfare. Ultimately, the project aims to contribute to the advancement of knowledge in poultry nutrition and management, leading to sustainable and efficient poultry production practices.
