Research on the effects of farming methods on the growth and meat production of commercial Sasso chickens for teaching Biology at colleges and universities

Abstract

This study shows the impact of farming methods on the growth of meat for commercial Sasso chicken in Autumn-Winter. The experiment was establised in blocks to ensure repeatable reliability, results are presented below.
The farming methods have small effects on Chicken Sasso; the capative method resulted better than semi-captive method:
- The high rate 97.33% fed in semi-captivity; and 97.78% in capacity.
- The weight calculated for overall living space at 9 weeks old ranged from 1915,95g to 1949,53g; absolute average growth from 29.77 to 30.30 g/ stock / day.
- (FCR) Cumulative calculation methods common for captive was 2.28 kg, 2.36 kg was in semi- captivity. - Sasso chickens in the semi-captive has good meat quality than in the captive, in line with consumer tastes better.
Chicken Sasso could be suitable for both methods captive and semi-captive and high productivity in Phu Ninh district, Phu Tho province. These results gave a basic for multiplying such fowl to farmers.
