Evaluating Uniformity in Broilers
Evaluating Uniformity in Broilers - Factors Affecting Variation
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[percent]. 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[percent] Avg.Wt CV[percent] Avg.Wt CV[percent] Avg.Wt CV[percent] Avg.Wt CV[percent]
0.23[percent] 95 5.6 328 11 1319 16.4 1831 16.8 362 18.5
0.23[percent]+0.04[percent] 95 5.6 405 9.7 1826 11.8 2452 11.1 543 14.3
0.23[percent]+0.8[percent] 95 5.8 434 6.9 1995 10 2646 9.5 630 11.7
0.23[percent]+0.12[percent] 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[percent] + 1.2[percent] Thanks & regards,
Dr Jaydip
