STYDY ON A CROSSBRED OF NAKED NECK AND FAYOUMI

Abstract

The experiment was conducted at Rangpur Govt. Poultry farm and the data was collected from the records with the objective of producing chicken for village poultry production. The exotic chicken breed was the Fayoumi (F) as hen, whereas the indigenous chicken breed was the Naked neck (NN) used as cock to produce a new genotype of chicken F1(F X NN). The initial no. of bird was 121 in number at 1st week. The mortality rate at 1st and 2nd week was 0%. Then it was estimated 12.5%, 2.86%, 0.98%, 1.98%, 1.01%, 0%, 2.04% respectively for 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th week. The total mortality at the end of 9th month was 20.66%. The weekly average feed intake (g) was 1144, 1813.714, 2237.143, 2589.286, 2815.875, 2496.429, 3444.286, 5040, 6740gm respectively for 9 weeks. The mortality rate was 20% which can be minimized by ensuring high quality management and supervision of the flock
