Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate the growth performance and carcass characteristics of five commercial broiler chickens(Arborakers,Aryan,Ross308, Cubb and Hubbard)available in Iran. First of all, the fertile eggs were hatched from broiler breeder with 31-33 weeks age at the same time. Two hundred sixty one day old broiler chickens were allocated to a completely randomized design with 5 treatments (broiler strains),4 replicates and 13 birds in each replicate. The peirod of experiment was 42 days. The results of this experiment indicated that,treatements had effect significant on the amount of feed intake,the heighest and lowest feed intake related to Hubard(77.1g/d), Ross (83.38g/d) and Arborakers (84.15g/d) respectively(P<0.05).The mean of average daily gain and feed conversion ratio were not significantly different between treatments.Treatments had no effect on relative weight of carcass,gizzard,liver,abdominal fat,fabrisius bursa and spleen at 21 and 42 days.The relative weight of different parts of carcass were significant between treatements in 21and42 days(p<0.05),the heighest an lowest of relative weight of wings were observed in Aryan and Arborakers respectively at 21 days, the heighest an lowest of relative weight of breast muscle wewe observed in Ross and Aryan strains respectively at 42 days.The treatements were not significant differences on pH-value after slaughter, 24 and 48h after slaughter,lightness and water holeing capacity of breast and tigh meat(P>0.05).In general,the results of this experiment showed weight gain, feed conversion and and carcass quality were not significantly different between broiler strains,therefore each of these could be raised in condition of management and feeding similar to this experiment.
