Seasonal Effect of Production Performance of indigenous chicken and Predict the Traits Value By Fitting the Exponential Model

Abstract

The present study was conducted in Pipulbaria village at Sirajganj district to know the production performance of indigenous chicken with seasonal effect and predict the values by fitting the exponential model. The average live weight of chicken was (912.73±31.02g) higher in winter than summer (888.27±20.377g).The average egg weight was higher (40.23.5±0.441g) in summer than winter (39.76±0.536 g).The average egg production per clutch higher in summer (12.2±0.536g) than in winter (10.53±0.376g).The Actual value of the traits (Live weight and clutch size) in Summer (888.27±20.377g, 12.2 ±0.536g) higher than predicted value (885.82 ±5.122g, 11.72±0.06g). The Actual value of the traits (Live weight and Egg weight) in winter (912.73±31.021g, 39.76±0.536g) higher than predicted value (906.17±1.848g, 39.01±0.143g). The R2 was used to compare the model performance and actual and predicted values
