Production of broiler chicken carcass fed on rice bran biomass in different marketed ages

Abstract

The objective of the study was to evaluate the production of broiler chicken carcass fed on rice bran biomass in different marketed ages. A total of 96 samples were used and conducted in complete randomized design with four treatments and three replications. Fermented rice bran were added in commercial rations broiler 5% in aged 3 weeks, 10% in aged 4 weeks and 15% in aged 5 weeks. The observed variables were the percentage of carcass, leg, wing, breast and back. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance. Least significant difference test was conducted if there were significant differences among the treatments. The results showed that different market ages significantly affected the percentage of carcass, leg, wing, breast, and back. In conclusion, different market ages significantly affected the percentage of carcass, drumstick, wing, breast and back of broiler chicken. Therefore, in order to obtain profitable carcass, it is better to market at the age of four weeks.
