The study was conducted in a renowned poultry farm BRAC Poultry Farm Limited Miraisari, Chittagong from 1st January to 30th January 2013. The study was undertaken with 30,000 broiler parent stock (Cobb-500). Result related with the average body weight gain at starter stage (one month), grower stage (2-5 month), pre-breeder stage (6 month) and breeder stage (7th month - end) of Cobb-500 female birds was 351.25 gm, 2015.50 gm, 2767.00 gm and 3248.00 gm respectively. Similarly in Cobb-500 male birds it was 396.25 gm, 2698.00 gm, 3434.50 gm and 3850.00 gm respectively. The height egg production of the flock was 81.75% at 8 month of age. The lowest egg production found in start of laying at 6 month and egg production was 72-80% in 9-11 month .The maximum hatchability percentage was observed 91.5% at 9 month of age which was somewhat higher than the standard hatchability that is 89.57% in that month. In all time achieved hatchability percentage were more than the recommended hatchability percentage. Overall mortality of the flock was 3-7% per month. It may therefore be inferred that Cobb-500 broiler parent stock performs well under control housing system in our country.

A total 32 samples were analyzed to evaluate the percentage of dry matter (DM), ash, crude protein (CP), crude fibre (CF) ether extract (EE) Nitrogen free extract(NFE),Metabolic energy(ME). The DM content is higher incase of Neem (68%) lower in case of kanchan flower (52%). The ash content is higher incase of Neem(11%) lower in case of kori(4.11%). The ether extract content is higher incase of Koroi (13.4%) lower in case of Raintree(2%). The crude protein content is higher incase of Ipil-ipil (23%), lower in case of Raintree (11%). The crude fiber content is higher incase of Christmass tree (43%), lower in case of Mehogony (25%) .From this study it is observed that this fodder contain proximate value which can satisfy the nutritive value in ruminants diet and it can be recommended that these unconventional tree leaves may be used as animal feed as alternative to other feed stuffs of animal. So, the different tree leaves may be used as a supplement with value in addition to animal ration formulation.
A STUDY ON EFFECT OF GARLIC POWDER ON PERFORMANCE OF BROILER
(Chattogram Veterinary and Animal Sciences University Chattogram-4225, Bangladesh, 2017-12) Sultana, Tahmina
Garlic powder contains several biologically active substances with prebiotic activity. The aim of this experiment was to evaluate the influence of dietary supplementation of garlic powder on performance,and serum lipid profile parameters of broiler chickens. A total of 108 day old chicks (DOC’s) were randomly distributed in three groups in a completely randomized design (CRD) having three replications per group. Those birds were treated either without garlic powder (GP) (T0/control) or with 1% GP (T1) and 1.5% GP (T2) in their regular basal diet and reared for four weeks. Data on performance parameters (feed intake, live weight, feed conversion (FC), weight gain etc.) were measured on weekly basis and data on serum lipid profile parameters (i.e. Cholesterol, Triglycerides, LDL-cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol levels), were recorded at the end of the experimental period. Results revealed that there was significant (P<0.01) increase in feed consumption by birds at 1st, 3rd and 4th weeks of age of broilers with supplementation of garlic powder. Initially no significant (P>0.05) difference was observed in body weight of broilers. Then, highly significant (P<0.01) differences were observed in body weight of birds throughout the whole experimental period with highest weight in 1.5% GP supplemented group (T2). The second highest value was observed in T1 group (1% GP). FC was significantly improved in 1st (P<0.05), 2nd, 3rd, and 4th weeks of age of birds (P<0.01) with better FC in groups supplemented with GP. Cumulative FC was also significantly (P<0.01) improved upto 3rd and 4th weeks of age of birds both in T1 and T2 groups compared to control group. The Cholesterol, triglyceride and LDL-cholesterol levels were significantly (P<0.01) decreased in GP supplemented groups (T1 and T2). Significantly higher HDL-cholesterol level (P<0.01) was found in T1 and T2 groups than T0 group. Almost all the performance parameters were best in 1.5% GP treatment group than all the groups. This may be recommended for broilers.

(Chattogram Veterinary and Animal Sciences University Khulshi, Chattogram-4225, Bangladesh, 2012-05) Rahman, Md. Jahidur
The present study was undertaken to observe the chemical composition of different types of sawdust available in the metropolitan areas of Chittagong, Bangladesh. Twenty different types of sawdust of difeerent plants were collected from study areas. Chemical analyses of the samples were carried out in triplicate for moisture, dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), crude fiber (CF), nitrogen free extracts (NFE), ether extracts (EE) and total ash in the animal nutrition laboratory, Chittagong Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, Chittagong, Bangladesh. Results indicated that, there were no marked variations (P0.05) in the moisture, dry matter and total ash contents of the samples. However, crude protein, crude fiber, nitrogen free extracts and ether extracts content significantly differed (P0.01) from one sample to another. Moisture content varied from 2.6 to 8.4 g/100g, dry matter content varied from 91.40 to 97.40 g/100g, crude protein content varied from 1.8 to 43.5 g/100g, crude fiber content varied from 41 to 74 g/100g, ether extract content varied from 1.0 to 3 g/100g, nitrogen free extracts content varied from 12.8 to 60.24 g/100g and total ash content varied from 0.67 to 2.6 It could therefore, be inferred that, sawdust currently available in the local market are widely variable in terms of their quality.

(A Production Report Submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF VETERINARY MEDICINE Faculty of Veterinary Medicine. CHITTAGONG VETERINARY AND ANIMAL SCIENCES UNIVERSITY, KHULSHI , CHITTAGONG, 2015-12) Ullah, Ahmed
ABSTRACT The study was carried out to acquire a comparative proximate analytical picture between layer feeds of Mohanur raj poultry farm in Namakkal and Kazi poultry farm in Bangladesh which are formulated in their farm on the basis of the requirement birds (hen). As the quality of feed is one of the main determinant factors in successful poultry farming, an attempt was made to compare the quality of both Namakkal layer feed,India and Kazi layer layer feeds, Chittagong. The feed was formulated on Layer-layer basis. The proximate analysis of these feeds showed the following composition such as moisture, crude protein (CP), crude fibre (CF), ether extracts (EE), ash and metabolizable energy (ME). The proximate analytical nutrient concentrates were moisture 10.4% and 10.1%, %CP 17.85% and 19.00%, %EE 2.4% and 4.3%, %CF 6.1% and 4.00%, % ash 6.5% and 6.3% finally ME 2650.72 Kcal/kg and 2800 Kcal/kg respectively Namakkal farm feed and Chittagong farm feed. There was significant difference observed in these feed samples with regards to some nutrient concentration. The age of the birds of two farms was also same (55-60 wkks). From this experipent, it was observed that the quality of feed used in Mohanur raj poultry farm (Namakkal) is better than Kazi poultry farm (Chittagong) and the nutrients are also closed to the standard. This experimental study may be helpful for Bangladeshi farmers and poultry nutritionists to compare between for mixed layer of Bangladesh with Indian (Namakkal) hand mixed layer feed.

(Chittagong Veterinary & Animal Sciences University, Khulshi- Chittagong-4225, 2013-02) Islam, Md. Manirul
The study was conducted to observe comparative assessment of meat preservation by using different method. The experiment was divided into three treatment groups having two replications. Three samples were collected from locally available markets. Where sample 1 was persevered by freezing method, sample 2 by pickling with vinegar and sample 3 by salting with common salt. The initial pH of the meat samples (S1,S2, S3) were 5.84, 6.33 and 5.90 respectively. The initial moisture percentage of these (3) samples were 77.43, 70.25 and 76.10, respectively. And the total viable count of bacteria was(1.8x106/CFU) in sample1, 2.3x106/CFU) in sample3 which were negligible and in sample2 the microbial load was 14x106CFU/gm. After one month of preservation, the second reading was taken from the same samples. There are some changes observed in pH, moisture, texture, color and TVC. It is revealed that the preserving of meat by salting is significantly better than other two methods. So, it may be concluded that the meat preserving by salting more safety, more reliable and more economic for human consumption.

A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE PRODUCTION PERFORMANCE AND MANAGEMENT OF COBB 500 BROILER PARENT STOCK AMONG THREE RENOWNED FARMS OF CHITTAGONG
(Chattogram Veterinary & Animal Sciences University, Khulshi,Chattogram, 2016-11) Hossain, Md. Shahadat
A study was carried out in three renowned breeder farms in Chittagong district of Bangladesh. The objectives of the study were to compare the management practices and production performances of parent breeder stock of about 29800 Cobb 500 strain reared in those farms (farm A, B and C). The duration of the study was August 10 to August 30’ 2016 which was done on 18-50 weeks of ages of birds. Relevant information’s related to management of birds (i.e. housing feeding, lighting, vaccination schedule, temperature management, bio-security etc.) were recorded from register book of farms and compared with the standard. Data related to production performance (i.e. feed intake by male and females, live weight, egg production etc.) were also recorded and analyzed. It was revealed that farm A, B and C maintained standard management systems. There was no significant difference (P>0.05) in feed intake by female breeders of three farms though it differed significantly (P<0.05) in males and was higher in farm B and C in comparison with farm A. However, no significant differences (P>0.05) were observed among body weight of male and female birds of farm A, B and C. Egg production was insignificantly (P>0.05) higher in farm B compared to farm A and B. Peak egg production in farm A was observed at 30th weeks (90%), farm B at 31- 42th weeks (95%) and farm C at 32th weeks (91%). From the study it was evident that there were fewer differences in existing management systems of farm A, B and C. Cob 500 performed well in that system. Insignificant amount of differences were observed among the production data of three farms almost in all parameters. It was also noted that production performance in a breeder farm depends mainly on the management practices and there is a negative correlation between the feed intake and egg production of birds.

(Chattogram Veterinary and Animal Sciences University Khulshi, Chattogram-4225, Bangladesh, 2012-05) Rahman Sarker, Hafizur
The study was conducted to observe the productive performance of broiler replacing vegetable oil by maize in different level. The experiment was designed by two treatment groups and each treatment having three replications consist of 25 birds in each replication. Two rations were formulated using locally available ingredients where T0 was formulated with maize (without oils) and T1 with palm oil (oil group). The body weight of broiler feeding maize at 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th weeks are 117.67 g, 271 g, 631.17 g, 1055.28 g and 1572.81 g while feeding palm oil these are 120.43, 267.84, 641.00, 1072.99 and 1587.69 which differ significantly (P<0.01) with former to later one. The weekly average feed intake of broiler with maize from 1st week of to 5th week are 79.46 g, 221.51 g, 553.04 g, 750.20 g and 1079.00 g differed significantly (P<0.01) with feeding palm oil which are 81.58 g, 222.56 g, 635.86 g, 750.59 g and 1094.67 g. Similarly the FCR of feeding maize birds are 1.10, 1.13, 1.43, 1.45 and 1.76 while birds with feeding palm oil are 1.05, 1.09, 1.37, 1.37 and 1.66 which also significantly (P<0.01) varied. Average mortality rate was 1% for T0, T1 group respectively. It is revealed that the performance of broiler feeding palm oil is significantly better than maize feeding birds. So, it may be concluded that the commercial rearing of broiler feeding palm oil is more profitable than without oil.

(A Production Report Submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF VETERINARY MEDICINE Faculty of Veterinary Medicine CHITTAGONG VETERINARY AND ANIMAL SCIENCES UNIVERSITY, KHULSHI, CHITTAGONG., 2015-12) Hossion, Md. Zakaria
Feed represents the major cost of poultry production, constituting up to 70 percent of the total cost. Of total feed cost, about 95 percent is used to meet energy and protein requirements, about 3 to 4 percent for major mineral, trace mineral and vitamin requirements, and 1 to 2 percent for various feed additives. Poultry diets are formulated from a mixture of ingredients, including cereal grains, cereal by-products, fats, plant protein sources, animal byproducts, vitamin and mineral supplements, crystalline amino acids and feed additives. These are assembled on a least-cost basis, taking into consideration their nutrient contents as well as their unit prices. As the quality of feed is one of the main determinant factors in successful poultry farming; an attempt was made to compare the quality of commercial layer feeds to identify the different proximate component. For this two feed samples were collected from two specific places. CP feed sample was collected from a nearby shop of Chittagong metropolitan area and the other feed sample was collected from Animal Feed Analytical and Quality assurance Laboratory (AFAQAL) of VC&RI, Namakkal, Tamilnadu, India. The CP feed are commercially available in Bangladesh. Proximate analysis was done to see the nutritive values. Those values were then compared with the standard value. Finally both data of proximate analysis & economic one were compiled by using Microsoft Excel 2007 (Chi-square test by using SPSS 16.0). The proximate analysis of two feeds are showed the following ranges of nutrient compositions DM (88-90)%, Moisture (10.5-11.5)%, CP (16-18)%, CF (5-6)%, EE (3-4)%, Ash (6-6.6)%, NFE (53.2-55.05)%, ME (2666-2685) Kcal/kg. From this experiment, it was observed that the nutritive value of AFAQAL feed is comparatively better than CP feed as the nutritive values are very close to the specified values.
A cross sectional study on beef fattening programme conducted in selected areas of Bangladesh
(Chattogram Veterinary & Animal Sciences University, 2022-08) Alam, Mahafuzul
The experiment was conducted to investigate the livelihood improvement of farmers through cattle fattening in six selected areas named Saidpur, Kishorgonj and Nilphamary Sadar Upazilla under the district of Nilphamary, Madhukhali and Faridpur Sadar under the district of Faridpur and last one is Daulodia Upazilla under the district of Rajbari of Bangladesh. Total 60 respondents consisting male and female were randomly interviewed those are involved in cattle fattening. An open and close ended questionnaire was used for collecting the data through face to face interview. I collected the data regarding socio- economic status of the beef cattle owner, general characteristics of the fattened cattle, their feeding and health management. The maximum number of beef fattened farmer is male (55%) and female beef fattened owner is 45%. The highest number of farmers involved in beef fattening are between 36-40 years which is 26.67 percent. Among the respondents, 60% owner completed their primary education whereas only 1.67 percent were post-graduated. About 50.82 percent farmer had taken training on beef fattening and rest of the portion did not have any training on. Local breed those were uncastrated, between 2.1-2.5 years old and reddish color were predominantly selected for fattening programme. Maximum beef cattle (89 percent) were vaccinated whereas 11 percent were not vaccinated. Among four types of commonly used vaccines, FMD vaccine was mostly given to all of the beef cattle. Most of the farmers offered their beef cattle 1-5 kg green roughage (44%). Almost 49% farmer did not give readymade feed but they offer homemade feed and commonly used feed ingredients was wheat, wheat bran, rice polish. Nobody used steroids drug but most of them used feed supplements such as zinc, aminovit, liver tonic, DCP and multivitamin. Around 25% cattle fed UMS but farmer didn’t supply UTS and UMMB. Most of the beef cattle were purchased from local market (78%) and some of the farmers selected beef cattle from own farm (22%). The highest number of beef cattle selling through local market and others through online, middle man and directly from farm. Most of the fattened cattle (52%) was sold between 100000 to 200000 taka which makes the owner profitable. Therefore, beef fattening programme can be a profitable business in Bangladesh.

A Production Report on Influence of Transportation Stress in Broiler
(Chattogram Veterinary and Animal Sciences University Chattogram-4225, Bangladesh, 2017-11) Sahabuddin, Md.
Transportation stress is a burning issue of modern time. A field study was conducted in broiler to evaluate the stressor as journey time, stocking density, lairage time that cause stress during broiler transportation. Two flocks having 795 and 1000 broilers were weighted to detect body weight loss and examined to detect the different types of injuries that might cause stress in broiler. Injuries during transportation were identified by visual observation and palpation. The observed parameters were rough handling during loading and unloading, less space allowance in crates, ambient temperature, feed withdrawal time, transport and time of distance, mortality rate, loss of body weight & struck of welfare. For identification of risk factors those farm chickens were followed up during transportation from farm to market for sale. The data of different type of injuries (e.g. dislocation of wing, dislocation of leg, laceration of wing & leg) collected. Results with respect to the frequency of weight loss, dislocation of wing, dislocation of leg, laceration of wing & leg were, were approximately 7%, 14.5%, 12.3%, 5.3% & 2.2%, respectively. On the other hand, mortality percentage of adult chicken was found 0.17%. From these findings it can be concluded that chicken are facing a great number of serious injuries during transportation due to long journey time, stocking density that affect mortality rate and production of birds.
