Karma Nidup & Pema WangchukFigure 1: Typical growth rate <strong>of</strong> broiler at different age. Source: Lacy, 2001The actual live-weight gain (final live-weight – initial live-weight) in41 days for each SFG bird is 2.41 kg with daily weight gain <strong>of</strong> 58.76 gm.On the other hand, actual live-weight gain <strong>of</strong> each bird in KFG is 2.14kg with daily gain <strong>of</strong> 52.28 gm. This may be the fact that CP content <strong>of</strong>SF is better than KF.
