| dc.description.abstract | Poultry is one of the fastest growing segments of the agro based industry in India. The behavioral trends in production, time of peak and decline as well as the persistency of lay can also be studied from such egg production curves, keeping all these in view the present study was envisaged. Experimental data were collected from Manjunatha poultry farm at Davanagere. MLR models was used for 2 strains viz. Suguna and Babcock hen age, hen house consumption, temperature and vaccination were used as an independent variables for different age groups viz. 19-29, 30-45, 46-60 and 61-72 weeks and dependent variable as egg production. Results of the study revealed that age showed significant effect for egg production and egg weight. As age increases there was increased in egg weight indicates that age contributing significantly as compared to other variable. The linear and nonlinear models viz., quadratic, cubic, logarithmic, power, exponential models were tried. Results of the study revealed that polynomial models viz., fourth (for Suguna) and fifth (for Babcock) degree polynomial models were of much informative in explaining the relation between age of the hen and egg production. Two way ANOVA for two factor was used and the factors are strains viz., strain1, strain2 for 12 season (months) for egg production and also for age groups. Result revealed that strain1 was less in production as compared to strain2, interaction of strains and seasons were showed non-significance. August was high yielding month followed by June followed by September and July. For egg production 2nd followed by 3rd age groups were showed highest yield in egg production, that showed average of 5 to 6 eggs in numbers per bird per week in that farm. | en_US |
