Thesis Abstract

Abstract
The poultry industry plays a crucial role in meeting the growing demand for animal protein worldwide. Among poultry species, broiler chickens are one of the most important sources of protein for human consumption. The growth performance of broiler chickens is influenced by various factors, with nutrition being a key determinant. This study aimed to investigate the effect of different feeding strategies on the growth performance of broiler chickens. Chapter One provides the foundation for the study, including the introduction, background of the study, problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, structure of the thesis, and definition of terms. The introduction highlights the importance of broiler chickens in the poultry industry and the need to optimize their growth performance through effective feeding strategies. Chapter Two presents a comprehensive literature review on relevant studies and theories related to broiler chicken nutrition, growth performance, and different feeding strategies. The review covers topics such as the nutritional requirements of broiler chickens, feed composition, feed additives, feed conversion ratio, and the impact of feeding strategies on growth performance. Chapter Three details the research methodology employed in this study. It includes the research design, population and sampling techniques, data collection methods, data analysis procedures, and ethical considerations. The chapter outlines the steps taken to conduct the experiment and collect data on the growth performance of broiler chickens under different feeding strategies. Chapter Four presents a detailed discussion of the findings obtained from the research. The results are analyzed and interpreted to evaluate the impact of different feeding strategies on the growth performance of broiler chickens. The chapter discusses key findings, trends, patterns, and relationships observed in the data, providing insights into the effectiveness of various feeding approaches. Chapter Five serves as the conclusion and summary of the thesis. It synthesizes the key findings, discusses their implications, and offers recommendations for future research and practical applications. The chapter also highlights the significance of the study in advancing knowledge on optimizing the growth performance of broiler chickens through appropriate feeding strategies. In conclusion, this thesis contributes to the existing body of knowledge on broiler chicken nutrition and growth performance by investigating the effects of different feeding strategies. The findings have implications for poultry producers, researchers, and policymakers seeking to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of broiler chicken production.

Thesis Overview

The project titled "Effect 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 and economically important poultry species that are primarily raised for meat production. The growth performance of broiler chickens is influenced by various factors, with nutrition playing a critical role in determining the overall productivity and profitability of poultry farming operations. This research project will focus on comparing the growth performance of broiler chickens fed with different feeding strategies, including varying formulations of feed ingredients, feeding schedules, and feeding methods. By assessing the growth parameters such as body weight gain, feed conversion ratio, and overall health status of the broiler chickens, this study seeks to identify the most effective feeding strategy that can optimize growth performance and enhance the profitability of broiler production systems. The project will involve conducting feeding trials with a sample population of broiler chickens, where each group will be assigned a specific feeding strategy to evaluate its impact on growth performance over a defined period. Data collection will involve regular monitoring of growth parameters, feed intake, and health status of the chickens to assess the effectiveness of each feeding strategy. Statistical analysis of the collected data will be conducted to determine significant differences in growth performance among the different feeding groups. The findings of this research are expected to provide valuable insights into the optimal feeding strategies that can maximize the growth performance of broiler chickens. The outcomes of this study will not only benefit poultry farmers by improving their production efficiency and profitability but also contribute to the advancement of knowledge in animal nutrition and poultry science. Overall, this research project aims to contribute to the sustainable and efficient production of broiler chickens through the implementation of effective feeding strategies tailored to enhance growth performance and overall poultry welfare.
