This study was planned to investigate the optimum level of Egyptian clover, as a supplementary protein source in broiler ration. Five experimental rations having 0, 2, 4, 6, & 8 percent sun-cured Egyptian clover were fed to 250 broiler chicks. A pre-experimental period of 5 days was followed by 35 days of experimental period. Average weight gain, feed consumption, feed efficiency, dressing percentage, cost of feed per unit weight gain and mortality were used as criteria of response. The mean body weight gain per chick was 1343b, 1385b, 1388b, 1457a and 1365b grams (P=0.01). The average feed consumption per chick was 3446b, 3423b, 3464b, 3687a and 3307b grams (P=0.05). The mean feed efficiency (feed/gain) was 2.57, 2.47, 2.50, 2.53 and 2.42. The mean dressing percentage was 72.48, 72.99, 72.72, 72.54 and 72.20; the average cost of feed per Kg body weight gain was Rs. 20.56, 19.56, 19.63, 19.68 and 18.63; and mortality was 2, 6, 10, 6 and 2 percent for treatment having 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 percent clover respectively. Considering all the parameters of response it was concluded that sun-cured Egyptian clover might be used at 6 percent dietary level in the broiler ration for optimum performance. |
