The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of the broiler chicken (body weight, feed intake and feed conversion ratio) at the fifth week of age. The broiler chicks were weighed, leg banded and distributed randomly into four groups as treatments, battery type iron cages, feeders, waters and other equipments were thoroughly cleaned disinfected, dried, sterilized by blow torch and finally fumigated by use of mixture of KMnO4 (potassium permanganates) and formaldehyde before use. The chicks were fed ad libitum with standard starter ration containing CP: 22 per cent and ME:2900 k.cal./kg feed upto 3 weeks age and then after broiler finisher ration with CP: 19 per cent and ME: 3000 k.cal./kg feed upto 5 weeks age. The broiler chicks of all groups were kept under similar management practices except lighting regimes as per treatment upto five (5) weeks age in battery type iron cages in laboratory. It is concluded colours of light did not show any significant effect on feed intake and feed conversion ratio (FCR) in broilers. The colour of light has a significant effect on the weight gain at the fifth week of age. The milky white and yellow colours of light are effective to obtain higher weekly body weight at five weeks age of caged broilers.Keywords

The present study was carried out to investigate the effect of different treatments of udder stimulation on day to day variations in milk parameters in cross bred cows. In group T1, milk yield was positively (P<0.01) correlated with main milking phase, total milking time and average milk flow rate. Milking duration was significantly (P<0.01) correlated with total milking time and average milk flow rate. Total milking time was showed positive (P<0.01) correlation with average milk flow rate. Fat percentage had positive (P<0.05) correlation with SNF (r=0.46). Significantly (P<0.05) positive correlation was observed between total solids with lactose and ash content. SNF was significantly (P<0.05) correlated with acidity. Specific gravity was positively (r=0.59) correlated with total solids. In T2, milk yield was significantly (P<0.01) correlated with main milking phase, total milking time, average milk flow rate (r = 0.99) and negatively (P<0.05) correlated with fat percentage. Main milking phase had positive correlation with total milking time and average milk flow rate and negative correlation with fat percentage. Total milking time was significantly correlated with average milk flow rate. Average milk flow rate had negative correlation with fat percentage (r=-0.71). In T3, milk yield was significantly correlated with main milking phase, total milking time and average milk flow rate and negatively with fat percentage (r=-0.55). Total milking time and average milk flow rate were positively correlated with main milking phase and milking duration was negatively correlated with fat percentage (r=-0.54). Total milking time was positively correlated with average milk flow rate and negatively correlated with fat. Fat percentage was negatively correlated with average milk flow rate was with. Ash content and acidity were positively correlated with total solids.Keywords
