A survey was conducted in Batiaghata and Dacope upazilla of Khula district during the period from August to October, 2013 to observe the socioeconomic conditions of poultry farmers, existing feeding and management practices of poultry farms and performances of 5 different layer hybrids. The commercial layer hybrids considered in present study were of 30 layer farmers selected randomly from each Upazilla to collect the information. Data were collected using a pretested questionnaire by direct interview of the farmers. Collected data were analyzed using SPSS. To observe the socioeconomic conditions, the age of selected farmers, their occupation, education level, family size, land size and annual income were considered. Mean age at first lay did not vary significantly among 5 different hybrids. Average mature weights of layer birds varied significantly (P<0.001) among 5 hybrids. Average egg production percentage was highest in Hisex White (86.81±1.86) and lowest in Decalb White (59.75±14.81). Average egg weight (g/egg) was highest in ISA Brown (61.65±1.11) and lowest in Decalb White (52.58±4.21). Egg production percentages and egg weights varied significantly among 5 different hybrids. Mortality percentage did not vary significantly but feed consumption per birds per day varied significantly (P<0.05) among hybrids. Highest average feed consumption (g/bird/d) was observed in ISA Brown (113.18±1.94) and lowest in Decalb White (95.40±9.09). Correlation coefficient (r) indicates that egg weight increased with the increase of egg production. Among the five different commercial layer hybrids, Hisex White showed the best egg production performance and could be recommended for the farmers of Bangladesh.

1. To study the socioeconomic conditions of poultry farmers, existing feeding and management practices of poultry farms and finally provide a comparative statement of the performances of different layer hybrids.

Data were collected from Batiaghta and Dacope Upazilla of Khulna district during the period from August to October, 2013. A total number of 60 layer farmers, 30 from each Upazilla, were selected randomly for data collection. The questionnaire was prepared keeping in view the objectives of the study. It was designed in a simple manner to get accurate information from the farmers. In order to obtain reliable information door to door survey was performed and data were collected through direct interviewing heads of the farm. Information given by the farmers was recorded and kept for analysis. Age of the respondents was categorized into 5 groups, i.e. up to 30 years, 31 to 40 years, 41 to 50 years, 51 to 60 years and >60 years. Education levels of the poultry farmers were categorized into 6 groups, Primary, 6). Respondents were categorized into 5 according to their land size, landless (<0.02 ha), marginal (0.02 to 0.20 ha), small (0.21 to 1.0 ha), medium (1.01 to 3.0 ha) and large (>3.0 ha). On the basis of their annual income farmers were categorized into 3 groups, low income (<1 lac), medium (1 to 3 lac) and high income (>3 lac). Farming experience and training exposure of the poultry farmers were also considered. Some management practices of layer farms like vaccination, debeaking, application of antibiotics, coccidiostat and vitamin mineral premix were observed. Floor systems, disease incidence and feeding practices were also considered. Performances of layer hybrids included age at first lay (week), body weight (g), egg production percentage, egg weight (g), mortality percentage and daily feed intake (g/bird). Collected data were compiled, coded, tabulated for processing and analysis in accordance with the objectives of the study. To draw a meaningful conclusion, tabular presentation of data was intensively used. The SPSS 11.5 computer programme was used to analyze the data. Descriptive statistics like number, percentage, mean, and standard error were used in describing the selected independent and dependent variables of the study.

Results of present study revealed that the performance of 5 different hybrids in terms of hen-day egg production, average egg weight and daily feed consumption were variables, and the egg production performance of Hisex White was better than other four types.
