Abstract:
A research study was conducted in two hundred forty day-old commercial Ven Cobb strain 400 broiler chickens during the month of September and October to estimate the economics upon mannan-oligosaccharide (MOS) and pomegranate peel powder (PPP) supplementation. Chicks were randomly distributed into 4 groups of 3 replicates of 20 chicks in each by following Randomised Block Design. The dietary treatment groups were as follows: T0 (Control; basal diet), T1 (basal diet + 0.1% MOS), T2 (basal diet + 0.6% PPP) and T3 (basal diet + 0.9% PPP). It was observed that T3 followed by T1 group showed better net profit value per bird. Hence, supplementation of MOS @ 0.1% and PPP @ 0.9% in broiler rations increased the profit for broiler production and thus, is inevitable for production of cost effective high quality broiler ration.
