| dc.description.abstract | A emu up to 16 months of age to understand its growth dynamics, feed intake and efficiency during growing period. The mean pooled hatch, 12, 24, 36, 48, 64 week body weight of emus were 034±0.01, 4.91±0.16, 12.13±0.42, 21.2±0.59, 29.00±0.70 and 39.56±0.69 kg, respectively. The period wise weight gain at 12, 24, 36, 48, 48 weeks were 2.72±0.07, 2.60±0.11, 3.04±0.12, 2.67±0.08 and 4.29±0.14 kg, respectively. The average daily gain (ADG) at 12, 24, 36, 48 and 64 weeks were 97.0&3.16, 92.82±3.22, 108.4315.29, 95.44±4.10-and 153.37±528. The daily feed intake for 12, 24, 36, 48 and 64 weeks were 335, 650, 670, 850 and 1300 g, respectively. The cumulative feed intake up to 32 and 64 weeks were 104.66 and 305.56 kg. The period wise feed efficiency at 12, Z4, 36, 48 and 64 weeks were 3.45, 7.00, 6.18, 8.91 and 8.48, respectively. The cumulative feed efficiency up to 12, 24, 36, 48 and 64 weeks of age were 3.79, 5.66, 5.97, 6.63 and 7.79, respectively. The total feed intake and cumulative feed efficiency of emu up to 64 weeks of age were 305.56 kg and 7.79. Considering the growth dynamics of emu, redefining of fattening process and market age with nutrient dense fattener diets will offer substantial economic benefits. | |
