ArticleItem Open Access Effect of early post-hatch feeding on the production performance of commercial broiler chicken(Akinik Publications, 2018-03) Kanagaraju, P; Babu, M; Rathnapraba, S; Machindra, Yadav Sunil; TANUVASA biological experiment was carried out to study the effect of early chick nutritional supplements (ECNS) with 600 day old straight run broiler chicks from a single hatch, individually weighed, wing banded and randomly allotted into five treatments with four replicates of 30 chicks each. One of the following early chick nutritional supplement viz., Control (No ECNS, T1), Egg white protein-glucose based ECNS (EWPG, T2), Corn-soybean and fish meal based ECNS without steaming (CSF WOS, T3), Steamed corn-soyabean and fish meal based ECNS (CSF WS, T4), Commercial broiler pre-starter diet as ECNS (CBPSD, T5) was offered to each one of the treatment chicks immediately after hatch in the hatcher tray and continued till placing the chicks in the chick transport box except control (T1) which was subjected to fasting for 24 hours to simulate field conditions. The data on hatch weight, chick transit weight loss, early chick mortality, day old to six week body weight and weight gain, feed consumption and feed conversion ratio at biweekly interval and livability were recorded and analyzed. The results of the study revealed that the ECNS feeding had significantly (P<0.01) improved sixth week body weight and weight gain than the birds reared on the control diet. The biweekly cumulative feed consumption and feed conversion ratio (FCR) up to six weeks of age were not significantly affected between the treatments. ECNS feeding improved the productive performance and livability in broilers.OtherItem Open Access Qualitative and Biometric Characters of Aseel Male Chicken(TANUVAS, Chennai, 2018-12) Churchil, R. Richard; Jamima, J.; Machindra, Yadav Sunil; Kanagaraju, P.; Srinivasan, G.; TANUVASA study was conducted at Department of Poultry Science, Madras Veterinary College Chennai to record the qualitative characters of Aseel male chicken and to measure the biometric Characters of the birds. The colour of skin, shank and eye was yellow and the comb colour was red in all the birds (100%).OtherItem Open Access Rearing Pattern and Comparative Production Performance Of Pure Breed and Improved Varieties Of Native Chicken at Field Level(TANUVAS, Chennai, 2018-12) Jamima, J.; Veeramani, P.; Machindra, Yadav Sunil; Karunakaran, N.; TANUVASA survey was conducted at Kancheepuram district among 15 native chicken poultry farmers to study the rearing pattern and production performance at field level. Most of the farmers are rearing Assel and Kadaknath as pure breeds; Vanaraja, Gramapriya, Kairali as improved varieties tor egg and meat purpose. The day old chicks were purchased from FTC, kancheepuram and got trained on farming activities. The flock size was ranging from 25 to 500 with an average of (160.67:27.83) birds. About 50% of farmers rearing under extensive system and remaining 50% rearing under intensive system for egg production. Borewell is the main source of drinking water provided to the birds. Nearly 70% of the farmers utilizing the plastic waterers for watering the birds and remaining 30% are using nipple drinkers. All the farmers are regularly vaccinating their birds against Ranikhet disease.
