EFFECT OF CRUDE PROTEIN LEVELS AND FOLLICLE STIMULATION ON EGG PRODUCTION OF AGED HENS

[摘要] The effects of varying levels of crude protein and follicle stimulation were studied on the recovery and performance of one hundred post moulted, aged, Nera Black Hens.Moulting was induced at production capacity of 33.6%.The birds were thereafter randomly assigned to four (4) groups (each of two replicates).Two groups received 16% crude protein (CP) level diets and the other two groups, 32%. One each of the two groups received follicle stimulation, induced by administration of Clomifene citrate (1.5mg/kg) via cathetered 5ml syringe through the 10week experimental period, with feed and water offered
