Seasonal Effects on Growth Performance of Broiler Strains on Outdoor

The book "Seasonal Effects on Growth Performance of Broiler Strains on Outdoor" offers a comprehensive examination of the impact of seasonal fluctuations on the growth and performance of two broiler chicken breeds raised outdoors. The authors, Kamorudeen Safiyu and Olajide Sogunle, analyze the differences in behavioral responses and overall performance of chickens under varying climatic conditions. The study includes 240 chicks of the Arbor Acre and Marshall breeds, which were observed in a controlled experiment over a period of 56 days. The results provide valuable insights into growth performance, carcass characteristics, and breast meat quality influenced by seasonal factors. This research is particularly relevant for professionals in poultry breeding and for those involved in optimizing production conditions in free-range farming.
