Comparative studies on the economic merit of dual-purpose male and standard meat type birds
An attempt was made to evaluate the conomic merit of dual-purpose male and standard meat type birds under intensive system of management. In this study 154 dual-purpose males and 153 standard meat type straight-run birds were observed. A micro-computer was under to formulate the least-cost rations....
