Abstract:
A biological trial was done in the layers of Swarnadhara parent stock by differing the levels of both energy, protein as well as calcium, phosphorus in their diets. 256 female parents stock of Swarnadhara to form 32 replications were fed with 8 different diets [2600 / 2500 kcal ME / kg; 18 / 17% CP vis-à-vis with 3.25% Ca / 0.35% Pav (T₁ - T₄) and 3.00% Ca / 0.30% Pav regimen (T₅ - T₈)] during laying period. Experiment showed nonsignificant differences in livability of birds. Hence it was concluded that energy and protein had no significant effect on livability of swarnadhara parent stock.
