Dear Sir,

I am really thankful for this technical article on Uniformity in Broilers which will help

us out to look after the microlevel to avoid the Flock uniformity in future at field level.

I have one doubt in my mind, if you look after the table in atrticle showing

relationship of Methionine level in feed with the flock uniformity CV%. Please confirm

us wheteher highlighted figure is a typing error or that is a fact.

Level of Methinonine 5 Days 17 Days 35 Days 42 Days Breast 42 Days
Avg.Wt CV% Avg.Wt CV% Avg.Wt CV% Avg.Wt CV% Avg.Wt CV%
0.23% 95 5.6 328 11 1319 16.4 1831 16.8 362 18.5
0.23%+0.04% 95 5.6 405 9.7 1826 11.8 2452 11.1 543 14.3
0.23%+0.8% 95 5.8 434 6.9 1995 10 2646 9.5 630 11.7
0.23%+0.12% 95 5.9 454 6.9 2153 6.6 2836 6.7 707 8.7
Note: I feel stongly that the value highlighted should be 0.23% + 1.2% Thanks & regards,

Dr Jaydip
