Abstract:
Two hundred and forty day old chicks were randomly distributed into four groups of 5 replicates and offered four isonitrogenous and isocalorific diets for 42 days. Test diets were prepared with inclusion of nonconventional feed Jamun (Syzygium cumini) seeds at 0.5%, 1% and 1.5%, respectively in T2, T3 and T4 groups. Diet without Jamun seeds served as the control diet. All standard practices were adopted while conducting the trial. Survivability patterns were recorded in all groups of birds throughout the trial. Results indicated no significant difference (p>0.05) observed in livability percent among all the treatment groups. Therefore the study concluded that inclusion of 1.5% of nonconventional feed Jamun in broilers diet.
