Abstract/ Executive Summary:

In a feeding experiment with chicks it was observed that feeding of processed Khesari (Latbyrus sativus) was superior to unprocessed (Raw) Khesari in respect of growth rate, feed efficiency and mortality. In processed Khesari, boiling is more effective than frying.

Keywords: Khesari, Chick, Ration

Location: Agricultural University, Poultry Farms, Mymensingh.

Program Area: Animal Health and Management

Commodity: Chicken

Objectives:

To study efficacy on use of boiled and fried Khesari in chick ration.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted to compare the feeding value of both processed and unprocessed (raw) Khesari on the performance of growing chick ration in Bangladesh Agricultural University, Poultry Farms, Mymensingh. The experiment was done with 108 chicks of 11 days old white Leghorn variety and was devided into three groups having three replications of 12 chicks each. Feed and water was supplied ad libitum. Identical care and management were provided to the chicks of all groups. The rations composed of locally available feed ingredients. The Khesari used in the experiment was raw, boiled and fried and 10 per cent level was fed in each group. Khesari was boiled in water and fried by placing in a hot iron pan. The Khesari was chemically analyzed and found that it contained crude protein 28.8 per cent, ether extract 2.25 per cent, and dry matter 90.15 per cent. Boiled, fried and raw Khesari were thoroughly ground separately before mixing them with other feed ingredients of each group. All sanitary and controlling measures were taken against all parasitic and infectious diseases.

Achievement/Findings:

The results indicate that the boiled Khesari has been more efficiently utilized by the chicks than the raw & fried Khesari. This result is also consistent with the finding of Kienholz et al. (1959). It is also indicates that the difference in feed efficiency of feeding boiled Khesari with other groups in highly significant (P<0,01). There was no significant difference in feed efficiency between the groups of fried and raw khesari. It is observed that the ration containing boiled Khesari was superior with respect tot feed efficiency. Mortality in all experimental groups was low and was not found to be significant among the groups.
