Abstract
Aim:
The present experiment was conducted to study the effect of
post hatch dietary fat supplementation on performance of broiler
chicken.
Materials and Methods: A total of 120 day-old Ven Cobb broiler
chicks were randomly assigned to 4 treatment groups of 30 chicks
in each (three replicates of 10 birds/treatment). The trial lasted
for 35 days. The experimental design was a completely randomized
design. Four types of diet were formulated for 1st
week: T1, T2, T3 and T4 contained control diet with no added fat,
2.5, 5 and 7.5% fat, respectively. After 1st week post-hatch
period chicks were fed ad libitum with the normal basal
diet as per Bureau of Indian Standard recommendations till
completion of the experiment (8-35 days).
Results: Significantly higher (p<0.05) body weight and
improved feed conversion ratio (FCR) was recorded in birds fed 5%
dietary fat at the end of the experiment whereas, feed intake was
not significantly affected. Significantly (p<0.05) higher dressed
weight was observed due to 5% fat supplementation than other
groups whereas, it was not significant for other carcass cuts. No
significant differences were observed in moisture, protein and
lipid content of breast and thigh muscle of broiler due to
supplemented fat whereas, 2.5% dietary fat significantly (p<0.05)
increase the serum HI titer on day 28 th.
In biochemical profile, higher serum albumin (g/dl) was recorded
due to 5% fat supplementation whereas other biochemical components
did not show any significance difference among treatments.
Conclusion: It may be concluded that supplementation of
fat in broilers diet improves the overall FCR, dressing percentage
and gain more body weight.
Keywords: biochemical profile, broiler, carcass cuts, fat,
performance, post hatch.
