    Abstract

    This study was conducted to evaluate the performance of Chabro poultry in different systems of rearing in the homesteads of Ernakulam district, Kerala. A feed for safe meat production formulated using CARI Make feed Poultry Version 3.0 software was also evaluated. The chabro poultry was compared with Vanaraja and Gramasree poultry popular in the homesteads of Kerala. The study was conducted in both intensive and semi intensive systems of rearing. Chabro poultry had significantly higher body weight at 7 wk (1.5 kg) and better FCR (2.15) than Vanaraja birds in intensive system ofrearing. In semi-intensive system ofrearing also, Chabro poultry had significantly higher body weight at 7 wk (1.3 kg) and better FCR (3.05) than the Gramasree birds. Net profit per bird was more in intensive system of rearing making it preferable for farmers. The difference in body weights of Chabro poultry fed commercial poultry feed and formulated feed at 7 wk was found to be nonsignificant. Chabro poultry was found to be suitable for rearing as a meat type bird in homesteads of Kerala.
