Technico-economic Analysis of the Substitution of Maize by Barley in the Flesh Chicken Food

摘要

The development of the various breedings of which poultry farming, depends primarily supplies food answering the criteria quantitative and qualitative. However, it is that this food is composed of imported raw materials in their great majority with heading the maize. The experimentation carried out on various batches of nourished chicks with a compound feedingstuff, comprising variable amounts of imported maize and of barley produces locally is highlighted. The obtained results show that the barley can be the subject of substitute product to imported maize thus it is encouraging as well on the technical plan as on the economic plan. A substitution to rates of 25 and 50% gave a growth who was close to that pilot batch which comprised only maize. On the other hand, a substitution for rates of 75 and 100% generated a less advantageous growth for the barley.
