ANGELES, JOHN MAT• GERALD M Cavite State University, Indang, Ca\ite. B.S. Thesis "Effect of Strain and Feeding Reline on Broiler Performance iii the Cold Dry Season.". April 1999. Adviser: Dr. Jacinto M. Constante.
A 3 x 6 x 3 replicates per treatment factorial experiment in Completely Randomized Design was conducted to compare the performance of three commercial broiler strains (Strain A - Anak 2000; Strain B - Arbor Acres; Strain C - Avian x Peterson) subjected to six feeding regimes: (1) CBM (for 10d), BSM (for 35d), BFM; (2) CBM (for 14d), BSM (for 35d), BFM; (3) CBM (for 10d), BSM (for 28d), BMW (4) CBM (for 14d), BSM (for 28d), BEM; (5) OW (for 10d), BSM; and (6) straight BSM for 45 days.
Results showed no significant body weight differences (P>0.05) between strains at week 0 but significant differences (P<0, 05) at week six, Body weigh was similar (P>0.05) between feeding regimes throughout the six-week period.
Feed consumption of Strain A was lowest (P<0.05) in Regime 6, Strain B and Strain C were lowest (P<0.05) in Regime 5.
Dressing percentage was influenced (P>0.05) by strain, sex and feeding regime. However, there were significant (P<0.05) strain x feeding regime and strain x sex interactions. The relative weights of the heart (P<0.05), intestine (P<0.01) and feathers (P<0.05) were higher in Strain C than Strains A and B. There was a non-significant (P>0.05) sex effect in relative weights of intestines.
The relative weights of liver, gizzard, and abdominal fat pad were not affected (P>0_05) by strain, sex nor feeding regime. Mortality was low and occurred in Strain A in week 1 and Strain C in weeks 3, 4, and 5. Strain A and Strain B were more profitable in Regime 6 while Strain C was more profitable in Regime 5. Overall, Strain B was more profitable than Strain A and Strain C
