ABSTRACT
This experiment was designed to evaluate the effects of various lysine regimens on the growth performance of local Aseel chicken progeny. In total, 240 day-old chicks constituting 60 of each Lakha, Peshawari, Mianwali and Mushki varieties, selected and placed in three-tier battery cages following Randomized Complete Block Design. These chicks were equally divided into three groups according to lysine regimens named L1 (1.3% lysine in starter, grower and finisher diets), L2 (1.4% in starter and grower and 1.2% lysine in finisher diet) and L3 (1.5% in starter, 1.3% in grower and 1.1% lysine in finisher diet) made accessible to them in phases for 0-6th weeks of their initial growth period. The same diet plan and schedule was followed by their parent’s flock. The data for growth parameters was analyzed by ANOVA technique and Duncan’s Multiple Range test (DMR) was applied to equate treatment means. The findings of present experiment revealed that feed intake was non-significantly different (P>0.05). However, body weight, weight gain, feed conversion ratio, and feed efficiency were significantly (P<0.05) better in the progeny from parents fed L3 regimen. It was concluded that providing L3 regime of lysine in diet of parent can improve the growth performance of progeny.
