EFFECT OF PROBIOTIC SUPPLEMENTATION ON ECONOMICS OF FEEDING IN BROILER RABBITS
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 53
Abstract
The present study was conducted in broiler rabbits to evaluate the effects of dietary supplementation of probiotic on an economics of feeding. Three dietary treatments were randomly and equally allotted to 30 rabbits at the age of 28 days. Thus, each treatment consisted of 10 rabbits. The three dietary treatments were: T1 as a control (Basal diet), T2 (Basal diet+ 0.5 g probiotic) and T3 (Basal diet +1 g probiotic). The total experimental period lasted for 8 weeks. Observations were recorded for the economics of feeding in broiler rabbits. Results showed that the return over feed cost (Rs.) at the 12th week was the highest in T2 (116.1) with mean body weight of 2.086 kg followed by T3 (105.42) with mean body weight 2.067 kg compared to control group T1 (107.11) with mean body weight of 1.964 kg. The return over feed cost (%) at the 12th week was the highest in T2 (53.35) followed by T1 (51.72) and T3 (46.79). Average weekly cost (Rs.) of feeding/ kg weight gain was the lowest in T2 (132.01) followed by T3 (135.81) and T1 (142.90).
