Table 3.
Body weight and FCR of 2 broiler strains studied for collagen and mixed muscle protein turnover at various feeding phases.
| Strain | FCR day 0-10 | BW day 10 | FCR day 10-20 | BW day 20 | FCR day 20-41 | BW day 41 | FCR day 42-56 | BW day 56 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strain A | 1.41 | 227.54 | 1.46 | 892.77 | 1.77 | 2,977.73 | 2.08 | 4,392 |
| Strain B | 1.43 | 234.71 | 1.45 | 859.99 | 1.75 | 2,904.39 | 2.05 | 4,426 |
| SD | 0.04 | 24 | 0.07 | 77 | 0.046 | 99 | 0.18 | 91 |
No difference in BW or FCR was observed between these strains (P > 0.05).
Abbreviation: FCR, feed conversion ratio.
