THE EFFECT OF CELLULOSIC CATEGORIES FROM COMBINED FORAGES WITH SUNFLOWER MEAL ON BROILER CHICKENS
Keywords:
cellulosic categories, sunflower meal, broiler chickensAbstract
In this experiment we have studied the effect of cellulosic categories from combined
forages with sunflower meal on nutritive and bioproductive indices at broiler
chickens. The experiment was carried out on 90 broiler chickens divided in three
experimental groups: CG, EG1 and EG2. At control group was incorporated in
combined forage 20% barley, at EG1 was incorporated 20% barley and 10%
sunflower meal of good quality (36% CP) and at EG2 was incorporated 20% barley
and 10% sunflower meal of poor quality (27% CP). At the age of 3 and 6 weeks
were determined the nutritive and bioproductive indices. The highest forage
consumption is registered at CG at which in the structure of combined forages was
incorporated barley in proportion of 20% and was with 12.02% higher comparative
with EG1 and with 5.9% higher comparative with EG2. The incorporation of barley
and sunflower meal in the structure of combined forages fed to broiler chickens
determines the reduction of body weight with 11.18% at EG2 and with 9.55% at
EG1. The highest specific consumption is registered at EG2 and is with 6.52%
higher comparative with control group.
