Abstract

The present study and field measurements were carried out at broiler farms in Menoufia Governorate (Tala City) during the period in 2017 and 2018. The great object of this study was to determine the effect of genotype (strains) and some environmental factors (such as densities and seasons effects) on production and water conversion (WCR) in Menoufia Government. The places of these farms (Meet ElKeram, Kafer El Alawy, Bemam, and Kafer Rabea.) The studied traits were as follow: 1. Feed and water consumption (FC, kg/bird/cycle); 2. Water consumption (cm3/bird/cycle); 3. Feed conversion ratio (FCR). Results indicated that feed consumptions /kg meat were 1600.00, 1629.47, 1599.29 and 1579.90 g feed/kg meat in Hubbard, Cobb, IR and Ross strains, respectively. The corresponding feed conversion values were 1.63, 1.67, 1.63 and 1.61 for Hubbard, Cobb, IR and Ross strains, respectively. The water consumption /kg meat were 3497.33, 3476.47, 3491.14 and 3430.36 cm3 for Hubbard, Cobb, IR and Ross strains, respectively. The corresponding values of water conversion were 3.86, 3.62, 3.57 and 3.50 for previous strains, respectively.
