Effect of pellet and mash feed on the production performance of Sonali chicken

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of Mash and Pellet feed on the production performance of Sonali chicken in Bangladesh. A total of 176 day old chicks (DOC) were randomly assigned into two treatment groups, namely T1andT2 having four replications in each treatment group. Chicks were brooded up to 28 days then randomly separate into replication wise in a separated pen for rearing up to 11 weeks. Each treatment group contains 88 birds, whereas each replication contains 22 birds. Experimental birds in T1 and T2 were provided Pellet feed and Mash feed, respectively. The results of this study were indicated that the final live weight gain and feed conversion ratio (FCR) of birds found significantly (p
