Keywords:
Cobb 500, management, production performance
Abstract
A study was carried out in three renowned breeder farms in Chattogram district of Bangladesh. The objectives of the study were to compare the management practices and production performances of parent breeder stock of about 29800 Cobb 500 strain reared in those farms (farm A, B and C). The duration of the study was August 10 to August 30, 2016 which was done on 18-50 weeks of ages of birds. Relevant information's related to management of birds (i.e. housing, feeding, lighting, vaccination schedule, temperature management, biosecurity etc.) were recorded from register book of farms and compared with the standard. Data related to production performance (i.e. feed intake by male and females, live weight, egg production etc.) were also recorded and analyzed. It was revealed that farm A, B and C maintained standard management systems.
