Total feed costs can be reduced by inclusion of less grain in the diet. Such a practice would also improve the quality of poultry meat, which generally becomes fatty as a result of the very rapid growth of birds and over-consumption of very high quality feed. A 3 × 2 factorial experiment was conducted to examine the response of broiler chickens to diets with 3 different fibre contents (2.5, 3.5 or 4.5% in grower phase and 3.5, 4.5 or 5.5% in the finisher phase) and 2 energy levels (optimum, 13.0 MJ/kg and low, 12.5 MJ/kg in grower phase, and optimum, 13.4 MJ/kg and low, 13.0 MJ/kg in finisher phase). Two hundred and eighty-eight male day-old Cobb-500 broiler chickens, (about 42 g each), were fed on the 6 treatments, each replicated 6 times,...

Feed samples were collected from two layer farm, four big hatcheries and six broiler farms located in different areas of Bangladesh and the collection was continued for twelve months. For monitoring the quality, dry matter, crude protein, ether extract, ash and calcium content in the feed were determined. The information regarding the source and ingredients of the feed as well as the feeding practices followed by the farms was also recorded. Based on age, purpose and stage of production, different feeding systems were practiced by the farms. In the present investigation, breeder farms were found to own feed-mill where they produced their feed and the quality of the feed appeared better compared to those used in broiler or layer farms. The nutrient contents in breeder ration were as per recommendation of the strain producing company. A wide variation of nutrient contents was observed in the feed fed to broilers in different farms. When the broiler feed was produced in the own feed-mill of the farm or supplied from a renowned feed- mill, the quality appeared to be quite acceptable with some deviation. Some self-prepared broiler feeds contained higher amount of ash and calcium. The broiler feed from retailer shop was found to be least acceptable. Remarkable fluctuation was noticed in metabolizable energy( ME) and ash content of layer layer feed procured from the retailer shop.

For this reason, an investigation was conducted to determine the existing production system and production performance of native chicken in the Sylhet areas of Bangladesh. Data were collected from 180 households of 6 villages of Sylhet district in Bangladesh. In Sylhet mainly poor families, who have arrived from outside and are landless rear poultry. Most of the households (58.33%) had 0-15 chicken. Most of the families (75%) reared their chicken in combined house with duck. Materials used for housing were similar to other parts of the country. Mainly female members were involved in poultry rearing. About fifty percent farmers got on an average less than 70 eggs per year per bird. A few farmers (5.56%) informed that they had collected more than 130 eggs from a bird in a year. In most of the cases (47.22%) the length of clutch was less than 20. Interval between two clutches was found in highest percentage(42.22%). Highest egg production was observed in winter season (52.78%) followed by summer, spring and late autumn. Maximum (60%) farmer had vaccinated their birds and 55% farmers got service from Department of Livestock Services.
