Abstract

In this study, it was evaluated that the growth performance of broiler chicken supplemented with the edible P. florida mushroom, 20g/kg of dried P. eoes mushroom, and 20g/kg of dried P. sajor caju mushroom. Day-old broiler chicks from a single hatch were weighed individually and divided into 4 groups of six birds each at random. The birds will be given a basic diet for starter (0–3weeks) and finisher (4-6 weeks) rations. One group (G1) was kept as the control, while the remaining three groups (G2, G3, and G4) given their chicks the same basic food as G1 combined with various types of mushrooms. Groups G2, G3, and G4 were fed dry P. florida mushroom, P. eoes mushroom, and P. sajor caju mushroom at the dose rate 20g/kg. Throughout the six-week testing period, food and drink were freely available. Feed consumption, body weight, and feed conversion ratio values were monitored weekly. It was found that, the supplementation of Pleurotuus sp. mushroom (P. florida, P. eoes, P. sajor caju respectively) in different groups did not show any effect on feed consumption but improved the growth rate in summer season. It was concluded that Pleurotous florida mushroom required for improvement in growth performance during the summer.
