COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF COMPANY LAYER FEED AND LOOSE LAYER FEED USING PROXIMATE ANALYSIS WITH AN EMPHASIS ON EGG PRODUCTION IN SOKHIPUR, TANGAIL REGION.

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to provide a comparative, close-to-analytical image of the market feed (CP & Nourish) and loose feed (Loose feed) used in Sakhipur, Tangail, Bangladesh, which are produced on the farm according to the needs of the hens. Given that one of the primary determinants of successful chicken farming is feed quality, an effort was made to compare commercial feed and loose feed manufactured by farmers. The feed was created using a layer-by-layer approach. The following composition of these feeds was revealed by proximate analysis: moisture, ether extracts (EE), crude protein (CP), crude fiber (CF), nitrogen free extracts(NFE) and metabolizable energy (ME). Regarding the concentration of some nutrients, there were notable differences found in these meal samples. This experiment's results showed that the quality of market feeds used in area is better than loose feeds. The nutrients in loose feeds are far away from the standard. As a result, a marked deviation in term of production (HHEP,HDEP,Egg weight) are seen in loose feed & commercially available feed.
