Abstract
Aim:
The present
study was conducted to observe the effect of feeding dietary
level of energy and protein on growth performance and immune
status of Vanaraja chicken in the tropic.
Materials and
Methods:
The experiment
was conducted for 56 days on 540 1-day-old chicks, which were
individually weighed and distributed into nine groups having 60
birds in each. Each group was further subdivided into
triplicates having 20 birds in each. Nine different experimental
rations were formulated with three levels of protein, viz.,
17%, 19%, and 21%; each with three levels of energy (2600,
2800, and 3000 kcal metabolizable energy [ME]/kg), respectively.
Group T8
serves as control fed with 21% protein and 2800
kcal energy as per Project Directorate of Poultry, Hyderabad
given requirement. Feed consumption, live weight gain, body
weight change, and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were calculated
based on the amount of feed consumed every week. All the birds
were vaccinated following standard protocol. The
hemagglutination inhibition (HI) test have been performed to
assess the immunity potential of birds due to dietary effect,
and serum samples were subjected to HI test at 7, 14, 21, and 28
days of age. Finally, economics of broiler production was
calculated on the cost of feed per kg live weight gain.
Results:
This
study revealed that the effect of feeding different levels of
energy and protein on growth parameters such as body weight gain
and FCR was found to be significantly higher (p<0.05) containing
19% and 21% crude protein with 3000 kcal ME/kg in Vanaraja
birds. There was a gradual increase in antibody titer against
New castle disease virus as the level of protein and energy
increase. It is speculated that the better body weight gain
corroborate health and antibody titer. Moreover, the better
immune response recorded in the study might be due to better
nutrient utilization and its extension toward the better immune
response. Higher energy with medium protein diet positively
reflects to obtain desirable performance economically.
Conclusion:
It
was positive inclination toward ration containing high protein
and energy which influence the immune response of Vanaraja birds
to obtained desirable performance economically also.
Keywords:
body weight gain, economics, energy, immunity, protein, Vanaraja.
