Effect of density on some productive qualities of broilers

Abstract

This article aims to emphasize that much attention should be paid to poultry projects for optimal production, as the most appropriate density per unit area suiting the conditions of the coastal regions of Yemen. The study employs the descriptive statistical approach. It is   divided into an introduction and three sections. Section 1 tackles materials and methods. Section 2 presents the statistical analysis. Section 3 discusses the findings. The study concludes that there are no significant differences between the variables, viz. body weight, weight increase and death rate at the age of 4 and 6 weeks. However, the live weight production per unit area increases when density increases. It is also found that there are significant differences between the variables 12 and 14 broilers/m² with the two densities 16 and 18 broilers/m².
