Effect of Partial and Total Replacement of Broken Rice Instead Wheat on Some Economic Traits of Laying Hen

Abstract

A total of 105 laying hens (ISA Brown), 60 weeks age, were used in the experiment. They were divided into five treatments with three replicates, were as the following T1: without replacement of the rice broken. T2: replaced 25% of the broken rice instead by 75% of the wheat. T3: replaced 50% of the broken rice instead by 75% of the wheat. T4: replaced 75% of the broken rice instead by 25% of the wheat. T5: replaced 100% of the broken rice instead by 0% of the wheat. The best measure of economic profit, the highest net cash income, and the shortest period of capital recovery was in T3 compare with other treatments. All replacement treatments of rice broken instead of wheat in the diet achieved the best economic profit, net cash income, and the shortest period of capital recovery compared to the control treatment.
