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.

(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.

(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.

(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.

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 OF LAYER DISEASES IN FENI DISTRICT
(Chattogram Veterinary & Animal |Sciences University, 2010-04) Hossain, Md. Belal
The pattern of occurrences of poultry diseases in commercial layer farms was studied based on post mortem and other examination of 135 cases either dead or live birds during the period of 01.06.2009 to 31.12.2009 in the district of Feni one of the fastest growing poultry belt in Bangladesh. In the study highest number of cases of diseases found Salmonellosis(22.96%),Fowlcholera(15.56%),Colibacillosis(9.62%),Necroticenteritis(08.89%),IBD(08.89%),ND(08.15%),Coccidiosis(9.62%),Lymphoidleucosis(2.23%),EggPeritonitis(5.19%),Cannibalism(2.96%),Vitamin E deficiency(1.48%),and heat stroke(1.48%).it was very obvious from conducted study that all age groups of birds are susceptible to various diseases but the laying period is most vulnerable, and most mortality of chickens are caused by Salmonellosis, Colibacillosis, Fowl cholera, Infectious bursal disease, Newcastle disease and Necrotic enteritis which demand immediate attention for prevention and control for assuring the most progressive egg laying industry
