Effect of Artificial Insemination on different production parameter in Hubbard classic broiler parent stock

Abstract

The experiment was conducted to determine the effect of artificial insemination (AI) on different production parameter in Hubbard Classic Broiler breeder parent stock. A total number of 300 female and 30 male Hubbard Classic broiler breeder parent stock birds were used as experimental animals and parameter recorded are: Health condition and body weight of birds, % of Production, % Hatchability,% Uniformity, grade A chicks, mortality % , hatching egg % & effect of diluents use, birth weight of day old chick (DOC). Significant variation (p<0.01) was observed in number of hatched birds, % of hatchability, production of total no of Grade A chicks, total number of damaged chicks and average chick weight. In the study, hatchability (%), production (%), growth and puberty weight (g) were significantly higher during post insemination compared to pre insemination stage, where as mortality (%) and uniformity (%) were significantly lower in case of post insemination stage. Body weight and uniformity (%) of birds either both sexes were significantly (p<0.01) different in birds at pre insemination stage compared to the birds at insemination. To be mentioned that body weight of birds was negatively correlated to the uniformity. Finally it could be concluded that AI may be better in all the parameters observed in this study than natural mating. So, AI can be practiced in Hubbard Classic broiler breeder parent stock.

Effects of Different Mating Strategies on Productive Performance, Bird Welfare and Economic Appraisal of Broiler Breeder under Two Production Systems

“…These results are in line with the work of Yan Li et al (2018) who could not find any difference owing to housing systems. These findings are contrary to those reported by Habibullah et al (2015) and Duru et al (2017) indicating that mating strategies as well as housing systems influenced egg weight. However, nutrition (energy) and genetics appear to play the key role in managing the egg weight rather management.…”

“…Resultantly, AI in cages proved to be the best as the greatest number of chicks/H.H were attained with the least cost production (Table 4). These findings are quite logical as there were less feed consumption and labor cost along with better production performance (Habibullah et al, 2015). However, higher capital cost of cages discouraged the farmers particularly in developing countries like, Pakistan, where poultry industry suffers market turmoil now and again.…”

Pengaruh NaCl Fisiologis dan Ringer Laktat terhadap Kualitas Spermatozoa pada Suhu Ruang dan Fertilitas Telur Ayam Buras

“…Metode pengukuran variabel dalam penelitian ini menurut Ax et al, (2008); Susilawati, (2011); Ismaya, (2014). Semen segar yang memenuhi syarat motilitas minimum 70% dilanjutkan dengan pengenceran pada 2 bahan pengencer NaCl Fisiologis dan Ringer Laktat (RL) dengan perbandingan (1:4) (Siudzin´ska dan Łukaszewicz, 2008;Habibullah, 2015) dan disimpan pada suhu ruang. Evaluasi semen dilakukan pada menit ke-1, 30, 60, 90, dan 120 (2 jam) yang meliputi motilitas individu, viabilitas dan abnormalitas spermatozoa.…”

Fertilitas Spermatozoa Ayam Buras dengan Penambahan Antioksidan Glutathione dalam Pengencer Ringer’s Selama Simpan Dingin

“…Meskipun pejantan dan betina keduanya memberikan pengaruh pada penurunan fertilitas, namun angka fertilitas yang rendah dianggap sebagai masalah besar pada pejantan (Khan, 2011). Habibullah (2015) menjelaskan bahwa IB pada unggas adalah proses koleksi semen dari unggas jantan kemudian memasukkan semen ke dalam saluran reproduksi betina untuk mendapatkan telur yang fertil. Proses IB pada unggas seperti yang dikemukakan oleh Getachew (2016) …”
