“…Similarly, at the age of 42 days, the FCR was best in Vencobb-400 (2.58) followed by 2.61 in Hubbard and 2.68 in Vencobb, respectively.Similar results were shown by Zaman et al (2015) who found the significant difference in FCR among the three broiler strains during summer season. These findings were also supported the observations of Hossain et al (2011) andSudarman et al (2011) that there exist significant difference in FCR among different broiler strains. The improved FCR of Vencobb-400 chicks indicates that this strain is more efficient in converting feed to meat more rapidly than in other strains.…”

In this study Comparative production performance of three broiler strains namely, Hubbard, Vencobb and Vencobb-400 was explored in tropical summer season of Eastern Uttar Pradesh state of India. Experiment was conducted on 450 broiler chicks, 150 chicks of each strain with three replications of 50 birds each. The performance of the broiler strains were measured in terms of feed intake, body weight gain and FCR, dressing and mortality percentage. Their performance on the aforementioned criteria was observed, three times, at the age of 14 days, 28 days and 42 days during the experimental period. It was observed that there exists a significant difference in performance in terms of feed intake, live weight, body weight gain and FCR among the three broiler strains during the experimental period and even at each stage of experimental age of 14, 28 and 42 day. The mortality was also significantly different in each strain and at each stage of experimental age. There was a significant difference in the dressing percentage among the three strains of broilers at the age of 42 days. Results indicated that Vencobb-400 performed best followed by the Hubbard strain. Therefore, both Vencobb-400 and Hubbard broiler strains may be recommended as economic and more suitable for rearing in tropical summer season of Eastern Uttar Pradesh of India.

“…The birds that reared under closed house has received the significant effect with meatiness except the ratio breast muscle to the bone weight, the meatiness of the thigh and the breast. The researchers (Kurcubic et al, 2006); (Hossain et al, 2011) and (Adebiyi and Adu 2011) also agreed with the current research that the housing condition affected to the performances of the broilers.…”

“…When considering the previous studies (Adebiyi and Adu, 2011); (Traits et al, 2012) ( Hossain et al, 2011) and (Almasi et al, 2012) those were agreed that strain had significantly affected to the yield of the broiler production. It means the HC has more flesh, more edible part when comparing with inedible part, as well as the live weight and the bone weight.…”

“…The genetic contribution of the broiler chicken as well as non-genetic factors such as age of slaughter, sex, nutrition and management practices are affected to birds performances. The researchers (Hossain et al, 2011); (Kurcubic et al, 2006); (Nikolova & Pavlovski, 2009); (Marcato et al, 1920); (Shahin and Abdelazeem, 2005); (Shahin & Elazeem, 2005) and (Traits et al, 2012) had shown the clear evidence that genetic and non-genetic factors affected the performances of the broilers.…”

Today Sri Lankan broiler industry has changed, selling of the whole carcass to separated carcass parts or deboned parts. In the processing industry there is a higher demand to gain the higher edible part, muscle yield and specially the breast muscle. The study was conducted to investigate the effect of strain and housing condition (open and close houses) to determine the meat yield of the broiler carcass. Hubbard Classic (HC), Hubbard Flex (HF), Hubbard 15 (H15) and Cobb 500 (C500) were the four commercial strains. At 38 days of their age, a total of 160 birds (40 birds from each strain / 80 birds from each housing condition) were randomly selected, slaughtered, eviscerated, weights were measured and dissected in to the separated parts (breast, thigh and drumstick). Weights of the body parts were recorded, deboned and the meat yield was measured. The research was designs by two factorial design. Data were statistically analyzed by using two-way Analysis of Variances (ANOVA) of SAS, 9 version. The birds that reared under the close houses showed the highest drumstick meatiness (p<0.05). The ratio of the breast muscle weight to all other muscles, the meatiness of the thigh and breast were not significant affected from the housing condition. When considering the effect of the strain the HC has gained the overall superiority except the meatiness of the breast (p > 0.05) and the thigh (p < 0.05). The HF was resulted the highest ratio for it. Other four indicators the HC resulted the higher ratio over the other three strain (p<0.05). As a conclusion, it can be recommended to the industry, rearing of HC under closed house system to gain higher meat yield.

Simple SummaryImproving broiler performance is still an essential task in animal production, especially under certain environmental challenge conditions. Heat stress is among the first and crucial limiting factors of the development of poultry production in warm regions. Betaine (B) and creatine (C) are seemingly two promising additives that showed enhancement in water metabolism in several animal species. Despite the clear beneficial effect of B and/or C on water metabolism, limited information is available about their use and effect on performance and thermophysiological responses of broiler chicks exposed to heat stress challenge. In view of the above consideration and in order to improve the productivity of broiler chickens, the present study was designed to examine the potential alteration in water metabolism in broiler chicks treated with B and/or C under thermoregulation challenge, which may contribute to the ongoing efforts to improve broiler chicken production. Under the current study conditions, the results demonstrated that performance and carcass parameters measured were not affected by B and/or C supplementation by the end of the rearing period. In light of the improved thermoregulatory performance and water balance indicators, it seems that B and/or C have successfully improved water holding capacity and therefore helped in enhancing thermo-tolerance.AbstractThe present study aimed to assess the effect of dietary betaine (B) and/or creatine (C) on performance and thermoregulatory responses of broiler chicks. Indian River broiler chicks, fitted with compact thermosensors, were reared to market age (five weeks). The chicks were randomly distributed into four treatment groups, in a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement of treatments—basal control diet (Control group: CONT; B−/C−); 1 g betaine/kg feed (Betaine group: BETA; B+/C−), 1.2 g creatine monohydrate/kg feed (Creatine group: CRET; B−/C+), and combination (Betaine and Creatine group: COMB; B+/C+) of both supplements. At 31 days of age, 20 chicks from each group were exposed to acute heat stress (A-HS) for 3 h (34.45 ± 0.20 °C), and hemogramic profiles were screened before and after. Performance parameters (feed intake, body weight gain, and feed conversion ratio) were reported on a weekly basis, and carcass meat quality was evaluated at the end of experiment. Redness of breast was higher due to B and C treatments separately than the CONT group (B by C interaction; p < 0.05). Compared to the CONT, dietary supplements alleviated hyperthermia responses, with B alone being more efficient than C or COMB treatments. The mitigation of hyperthermia is likely mediated by enhancement of water balance indicators. Although not efficient in improving growth performance, dietary B and/or C are efficient in improving thermophysiological performance and survival of finishing broiler chicks under A-HS.
