Abstract: BANAAG, ISAIAS ATERRADO. Don Severino Agricultural College, March, 1989. Performance of Sexed Broilers on Different Floor Spaces. Major Adviser: Prof. Camilo F, Guevara Jr. One hundred ninety two sexed commercial broiler chicks were used to determine the effect of different floor spaces on the growth performance of male and female broilers. The different floor spaces used were: Ti - 0.046 sq.m. (0.05 sq.ft.) per bird T2 - 0.07 sq.m. (0.75 sq.ft.) per bird T3 - 0.093 sq.m.(1.00 sq.ft.) per bird All sex and floor space treatment combinations were replicated three times in a Complete Randomized Design (CRD). Fifteen,ten, and seven birds were placed in cages where 0.046, 0.07, and 0.093 sq.m. of floor space Respectively were allowed per bird. At the end of the seventh week one bird from each replicate was sampled to determine the dressing percentage, Significant differences on average body weight and cumulative feed consumption of male and female birds were observed at seven weeks. Likewise, birds raised on different floor spaces showed significant differences in average body weight and cumulative feed consumption during the same period. Interaction between sex and floor space on average body weight and cumulative feed consumption at seventh week is not significant.

BANAAG, ISAIAS ATERRADO. Don Severino Agricultural College, March, 1989. Performance of Sexed Broilers on Different Floor Spaces. Major Adviser: Prof. Camilo F, Guevara Jr.

One hundred ninety two sexed commercial broiler chicks were used to determine the effect of different floor spaces on the growth performance of male and female broilers. The different floor spaces used were:

Ti - 0.046 sq.m. (0.05 sq.ft.) per bird

T2 - 0.07 sq.m. (0.75 sq.ft.) per bird

T3 - 0.093 sq.m.(1.00 sq.ft.) per bird

All sex and floor space treatment combinations were replicated three times in a Complete Randomized Design (CRD). Fifteen,ten, and seven birds were placed in cages where 0.046, 0.07, and 0.093 sq.m. of floor space Respectively were allowed per bird. At the end of the seventh week one bird from each replicate was sampled to determine the dressing percentage,

Significant differences on average body weight and cumulative feed consumption of male and female birds were observed at seven weeks. Likewise, birds raised on different floor spaces showed significant differences in average body weight and cumulative feed consumption during the same period. Interaction between sex and floor space on average body weight and cumulative feed consumption at seventh week is not significant.

No significant difference on feed efficiency of mate and female birds and between birds raised on different floor spaces was likewise observed.

Reducing floor space allowance from 0.093 to 0.073 or even 0.046 sq.m. per bird did not alter livability of male and female broilers.

Dressing percentage of male and female broilers did not differ significantly as their floor space allowance was reduced from 0.093 to 0.046 sq. m. per bird.

High positive relationship existed between final body weight of birds and its feed consumption, and floor space allowance provided.

Male broilers produced a significantly higher
income over feeds and chick cost (IOFCC) than female.
Raising male and female broilers on floor space
allowance of 0.07 sq. m. per bird gave higher IQFCC than
those raised on 0.046 and 0.093 sq.m..

Reducing floor space allowance from the

conventional 0.093 sq.m. to 0.046 sq.m. per bird did not

drastically reduce growth performance of male and female

broilers.
