Abstract/ Executive Summary:

This study was conducted at Chittagong Government Veterinary College Pahartali, Chittagong to know the productive performance of Fayoumi chicken under intensive management The Fayoumi pullets were collected from the Regional Government Poultry Farm, Pahartali, Chittagong, Bangladesh. The age and weight of each chicken were recorded at the laying of first egg and obtained the age and weight at sexual maturity was 163.63±1.17 days and 1253.11 ±16.42 g, respectively. Daily egg production was recorded from the onset of lay upto one year and the yearly egg production per hen was obtained 140.72. Eggs were weighted and the average egg weight was obtained 45.79 g.

Keywords: Egg production, Egg weight, Age and weight at sexual maturity

Program Area: Animal Health and Management

Commodity: Chicken

Objectives:

To know the productive performance of Fayoumi chickens under intensive management.

Methodology:

The present research was conducted at Chittagong Government Veterinary College, Pahartali, Chittagong, Bangladesh from October 2001 to June 2003. Eighty Fayoumi (Fa) pullets were procured from Regional Government Poultry Farm, Pahartali, Chittagong. The pullets were reared under the intensive management and fed them the growing ration. Age and weight of each chicken were recorded at the laying of first egg for calculating the age and weight at sexual maturity. The chickens were fed with a layer ration contains, feed ingredients broken com, rice polish, til oil cake, concentrate mixture, oyster shell, salt, vitamin mineral premix, lysine and methionine and the nutrient composition of the ration. Egg production of the chickens was recorded daily from the onset of lay upto one year. Eggs were weighted by an electrical and top loading balance and were recorded. At the same time mature live weight was recorded. For calculating the daily average feed intake of Fayoumi chicken daily feed intake were recorded. Data on most of the parameters studied were unequal. Therefore statistical analysis of the collected data was performed by Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), (Windows Base 7.5 Version, 2000). For the significant factors the sub-class mean will be compared using least significant different test.

Achievement/Findings:

The age and weight of each chicken were recorded at the laying of first egg and obtained the age and weight at sexual maturity was 163.63±1.17 days and 1253.11 ±16.42 g, respectively. Daily egg production was recorded from the onset of lay upto one year and the yearly egg production per hen was obtained 140. Eggs were weighted and the average egg weight was obtained 45.79 g. Before using the Fayoumi as a parent for the production of Sonali. the selection of best performer Fayoumi is important. On the other hand, it can be concluded that the good management may enhance the productivity of this Fayoumi chicken.
