EFFECT OF SUPPLEMENTATION OF SUPERLIV LIQUID ON THE PERFORMANCE OF COMMERCIAL BROILERS IN SALIMPUR POULTRY FARM OF MATHURA

A field trial was conducted to assess efficacy of liver tonic Superliv liquid supplementation in broilers. 6000 day old chicks (Cobb 400) were divided randomly into two identical groups (n= 3000). The group T1, control group birds were given standard basal diet and group T2, treatment group birds were given basal diet supplemented with Superliv liquid at 5ml/100 birds/day from 1-2 week,10 ml/100 birds/day from 2-4 week and 20ml/100 birds/day from 4-6 week. Parameters viz. growth performance, dressing percentage and cost benefit analysis were studied form 0-6 weeks. Statistical analysis of results revealed that Superliv liquid supplementation significantly (P<0.05) improved body weight and body weight gain in supplemented birds. Weekly feed intake between the both groups varied non- significantly at 2nd, 3rd and 5th week of study. Over all feed conversion ratio was significantly better (P<0.05) in Superliv liquid supplemented birds. Economically better returns were achieved with Superliv liquid supplementation.
