Abstract:
The objective of this study was the comparison the growth performance
of three broiler hybrids (Ross308, Hubbard and Arbor acres) reared in
closed system of housing in Khartoum State.
Data of 48 records performance was collected from Alamin commercial
broiler farm at alaylafoon district, 40 km south-East of Khartoum for the
period from 2011 to 2014,the data was statistically analyzed using
statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS version 16) (2007). Result
showed highly significant differences (p < 0.01) for body weight, weight
gain, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, mortality and production
efficiency factor between the hybrids. The hybrid Ross308 showed the
more favored and superior body weight, weight gain, feed intake, feed
conversion ratio and production efficiency factor compared to the other
hybrid. However mortality percent was low by Hubbard than ross308
and Arbor acres respectively.
