Abstract: A total of 300 day old Pilch broilers were used in this study to determine their relative performance and adaptability to DSAC condition. Three hundred day old Pilch broilers were randomly distributed to six lots with 50 birds per lot which were thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. During the first two weeks, the chicks were provided with light day and night. Light was made available at night time up to the end of the third week. In the fourth week, light was cut off. At the start of the fifth week, the chicks were transferred to the growing house by catching the chicks manually. Fresh clean water was provided at all times and feeds were given ad-libitum to all chicks in six lots. Results revealed only slight differences among the average body weights of the birds at the end of the study. At seven and a half weeks old, all birds in all lots had an average body weight of 1,500 grams. No apparent difference was observed on the average cumulative feed consumption at seven and a half weeks old. Similarly, no apparent difference was observed in terms of feed efficiency at the end of the study.

A total of 300 day old Pilch broilers were used in this study to determine their relative performance and adaptability to DSAC condition.

Three hundred day old Pilch broilers were randomly distributed to six lots with 50 birds per lot which were thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.

During the first two weeks, the chicks were provided with light day and night. Light was made available at night time up to the end of the third week. In the fourth week, light was cut off.

At the start of the fifth week, the chicks were transferred to the growing house by catching the chicks manually.

Fresh clean water was provided at all times and feeds were given ad-libitum to all chicks in six lots.

Results revealed only slight differences among the average body weights of the birds at the end of the study.

At seven and a half weeks old, all birds in all lots had an average body weight of 1,500 grams.

No apparent difference was observed on the average cumulative feed consumption at seven and a half weeks old.

Similarly, no apparent difference was observed in terms of feed efficiency at the end of the study.
