Abstract
Dağdemir, V., Demir, and Macit, M. 2007. Estimation of optimum fattening period in broilers. J. Appl.Anim. Res., 31: 159–160.
The optimum fattening period of broilers was estimated by a mathematical function using weight gain and feed intake data of a previous study conducted on 910 day-old chicks at IPC Livestock Barneveld College, The Netherlands. Forty one day fattening period has been recommended to be optimum fattening period. But calculated optimum fattening period can vary according to chicken meat and feed prices. When feed price is low and chicken meat price is high, fattening period can increase.
