Two trials were conducted to evaluate four different nutritional plans with different energy (ME) and protein (CP) levels, nominated PN1 (highest levels), PN2 (medium), PN3 (low) and PN4 (lowest) in starter, grower and finisher periods of broiler raising. The performance, carcass and parts yield and economic analyses were evaluated in male (Trail 1) and female (Trail 2) broilers. The experimental design consisted of 4 treatments and 4 replicates with 880 chickens, randomized into 16 floor pens (55 birds/pen). When necessary, […]

This experiment was carried out in order to evaluate performance, nitrogen and dry matter balance and morfometrical measures of broilers raised with different levels of protein and energy on pre-starter phase (1 to 7 days of age). In a completely randomized design, 336 one-day old chicks were allotted in a completely randomized design in a factorial scheme 2 x 3 (metabolizable energy 2,850 and 3,000 kcal/kg and crude protein – 20, 23 and 26%) with four replicates with 14 birds […]

The objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of density and feeding programs on the productive performance and carcass and prime cuts yield in broiler chickens at 42 days of age. A completely randomized design, in a 3×2 (density x feeding programs) factorial scheme, with three replications, was used. The densities were: 10, 12 and 16 birds/m2. The feeding was composed of program 1 (four diets): pre-initial, initial, growing and finishing and program 2 (five diets): pre-initial I, […]
