THE DETERMIANTON OF PERFORMANCE TRAITS AND BREAST MUSCLE YIELD OF LOCAL CHICKEN AND COMMERCIAL BROILER


Abstract in English

A total of 300 one day old chicks (150 broiler chicks,150 local Syrian chicks) were raised for 6 weeks in order to determine the performance traits (live body weight, FCR, ADG, Breast muscle yield) There were 2 treatments 3 replication for each .and at the end of every week all birds were weighed and feed consumption rate were calculated in order to calculate FCR and ADG Average daily gain and 6 birds of each group were weighed and slaughtered in order to determine the breast muscle yield.
