    EFFECTS OF DIETARY SUPPLEMENTATION OF BETAINE WITH REDUCTION OF METHIONINE ON PERFORMANCE OF COMMERCIAL BROILER CHICKEN DURING SUMMER SEASON
    (POULTRY RESEARCH STATION COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SCIENCE & A. H. ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY, 2021) Suryawanshi Gaurav P.; Dr. F. P. Savaliya
    The experiment was conducted to study the effects of dietary supplementation of betaine with reduction of methionine on performance of commercial broiler chicken in summer season. One hundred and sixty-eight (168) straight run day old commercial broiler chicks were distributed randomly to seven treatment groups, each treatment group consisted of four replicates, each with six chicks leading to 24 chicks per treatment. The experiment was conducted for a duration of six weeks. The seven treatments were divided as follows: T1 diet was kept as control (without Betaine Hcl). T2 diet contained Betaine Hcl @50g/100kg of feed, T3 diet contained Betaine Hcl @100g/100kg of feed, T4 diet contained Betaine Hcl @50g/100kg of feed along with 10 % reduction of Methionine, T5 diet contained Betaine Hcl @50g/100kg of feed along with 20 % reduction of Methionine, T6 diet contained Betaine Hcl @100g/100kg of feed along with 10 % reduction of Methionine and T7 diet contained Betaine Hcl @100g/100kg of feed along with 20 % reduction of Methionine.

    EFFECT OF FEEDING DIETS SUPPLEMENTED WITH AN ANTIBIOTIC VS PROBIOTIC ON PERFORMANCE OF COMMERCIAL BROILER CHICKEN
    (POULTRY RESEARCH STATION COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SCIENCE & A. H. ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY, 2021) Patel Hard Vinodkumar; Dr. R. M. Rajpura
    The experiment was conducted to study the effects of dietary supplementation of antibiotic and probiotic as an alternative to antibiotic growth promoter on performance of commercial broilers. Five hundred and forty (540) straight run day-old commercial broiler chicks were distributed randomly to three treatment groups; each treatment group consisted of six replicates and each have 30 chicks leading to 180 chicks per treatment. The experiment was conducted for a period of six weeks. The three treatments were divided as follows: T1 diet was kept as control (without antibiotic and probiotic), T2 diet was kept as antibiotic group and T3 diet was kept as probiotic group. In control group there was no addition of antibiotic and probiotic but in T2 group antibiotic and T3 group probiotic was added in feed and water. For T2 group in feed Enramycin Hydrochloride 8% as AGP @ 100 g/ton of feed was added and in water from 2nd to 5th day Neomycin Sulphate 100 mg + Doxycycline 100 mg @ 10 mg/kg body weight, from 16th to 19th day Sulphadiazine 200 mg + Trimethoprim 40 mg @ 10 mg/kg body weight and from 30th to 33rd day Enrofloxacin 100 mg @ 10 mg/kg body weight was added and for T3 group in feed Probiotic Mixture (Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis, Bacillus coagulans, Clostridium butyricum HJCB998) @ 500g/tone of feed and in water from 2nd to 5th day, 16th to 19th day and 30th to 33rd day used Probiotic Mixture (Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis, Bacillus coagulans, Pediococcusacidilactici, Saccharomyces boulardii, Clostridium butyricum HJCB998) @ 5 g per 100 birds was added.

    EFFECT OF DIFFERENT LEVELS OF TRACE MINERAL SOURCES ON PERFORMANCE OF COMMERCIAL BROILER CHICKEN
    (POULTRY RESEARCH STATION COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SCIENCE & A. H. ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY, ANAND GUJARAT, 2021) Bhagora Manthan S.; Dr. R. S. Joshi
    The experiment was conducted to study the effect of different levels of trace mineral sources on performance of commercial broiler chicken. One hundred and twenty (120) straight run day old commercial broiler chicks were distributed randomly to five experimental treatments, consisting of 24 chicks in each treatment. Each treatment consisted of four replicates with six chicks per replicate. The experiment was conducted for a period of six weeks. The five treatments were divided as follows: T1 diet (control with 100 percent supplementation of inorganic trace minerals), T2 diet with supplementation of 75 percent inorganic and 25 percent organic trace minerals, T3 diet with supplementation of 50 percent inorganic and 50 percent organic trace minerals, T4 diet with supplementation of 25 percent inorganic and 75 percent organic trace minerals and T5 diet with supplementation of 100 percent organic trace minerals.

    EFFECT OF DIETARY SUPPLEMENTATION OF L-THREONINE ON PERFORMANCE OF COMMERCIAL BROILER CHICKEN
    (POULTRY RESEARCH STATION COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SCIENCE & A. H. ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY, ANAND, 2020) Parmar Yashkumar S.; Dr. R. S. Joshi
    To study the effect of dietary supplementation of different level of L-Threonine with reduced crude protein level on performance of commercial broilers this experiment was carried out on two hundred and twenty four (224) straight run day-old commercial broiler chicks of a single hatch. The Chicks were randomly distributed to seven treatments, consisting of 32 chicks in each treatment. Each treatment consisted of four replicates with eight chicks per replicate. The experiment was conducted for a period of six weeks. The eight treatments were: T1 diet (Basal Diet + L-Threonine as per NRC requirement). T2 diet with 0.5% CP Reduction than basal diet with addition of 10% L-Threonine, T3 diet with 1.0% CP Reduction than basal diet with addition of 10% L-Threonine, T4 diet with 1.5% CP Reduction than basal diet with addition of 10% L-Threonine T5 diet with 0.5% CP Reduction than basal diet with addition of 15% L-Threonine, T6 diet with 1.0% CP Reduction than basal diet with addition of 15% L-Threonine and T7 diet with 1.5% CP Reduction than basal diet with addition of 15% L-

    EFFECT OF VARYING DIETARY CRUDE PROTEIN AND TRYPTOPHAN LEVELS ON PRODUCTION PERFORMANCE OF WHITE LEGHORN BIRDS
    (POULTRY RESEARCH STATION COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SCIENCE AND ANIMAL HUSBANDRY ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY, ANAND, 2019) Raisbhai Mahmmadbhai Rajpura; Dr. F. P. Savaliya
    The present study was conducted in White Leghorn layer birds from 21-40 weeks of age to evaluate effect of varying dietary crude protein and tryptophan levels on production performance. The study was conducted at Poultry Research Station, College of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry, Anand Agricultural University, Anand. A total of 192 White Leghorn pullets of uniform were selected and distributed into eight treatments groups each with four replicates and each replicate having six birds and placed in individual California cages. Eight iso-caloric (2600 ME kcal/kg feed) treatment diets were formulated having two level of crude protein i.e. 14 and 16% each with four levels of tryptophan i.e. 0.17, 0.19, 0.21 and 0.23% and constant level of Lysine (0.80%), Methionine + Cysteine (0.70%) and Threonine (0.64%). Synthetic L-Tryptophan were supplemented at the rate of 30, 50, 70 and 90 g/100 kg feed in 14% crude protein diet and 00, 20, 40, 60 g/100 kg feed in 16% crude protein diet to achieve 0.17, 0.19, 0.21 & 0.23% tryptophan levels, respectively. DL-Methionine and L-Lysine were also supplemented to maintain their constant dietary levels in feed. The performance in terms of hen day egg production (HD%), hen day egg number (HDEN), hen housed egg number (HHEN), egg weight (g), egg mass (g per hen per day), feed intake (g/bird), feed intake (g/egg), feed efficiency (g/g egg mass), feed cost (Rs./egg), body weight (g) and egg quality parameters were studied.
