    This project aims to investigate the effect of different levels of tryptophan in broiler diets on growth performance and feed efficiency. 105 broiler chicks will be assigned to 5 dietary treatments with varying levels (0.0, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20 and 0.25%) of tryptophan supplementation. Growth parameters like body weight and feed conversion ratio will be measured weekly over 56 days. The study hopes to evaluate how tryptophan levels impact broiler growth and feed efficiency.

    PROJECT PROPOSAL
    ON
    GROWTH RESPONSE OF BROILER BIRDS
    FED DIETS FORTIFIED WITH DIFFERENT

    LEVELS OF TRYPTOPHAN.

    INTRODUCTION
    Broiler production is a significant aspect of
    the poultry industry, and improving growth and
    performance is crucial for economic success.
    Tryptophan is an essential amino acid that
    plays a key role in growth and development.
    This project aims to investigate the effect of
    different levels of tryptophan in broiler diets on
    growth performance and feed efficiency.
    OBJECTIVE
    • * To evaluate the growth performance of broiler
    birds fed diets fortified with varying levels of
    tryptophan.
    • * To assess the impact of tryptophan
    supplementation on feed conversion ratio (FCR)
    and weight gain of broiler birds. The formula for
    feed conversion ratio = feed intake / weight gain
    JUSTIFICATION
    Most feedstuffs are lacking in most of the
    essential amino acids mostly espcially
    tryptophan.
    Tryptophan helps poultry increase their growth
    performance through increasing appetite, feed
    efficiency, and feed utilization. It helps poultry
    synthesize protein for body demand.
    MATERIALS AND METHODS
    • * Experimental site: The study will be carried out at the
    poultry unit of the teaching and research farm,
    department of animal science. University of calabar,
    calabar
    • * Experimental animal and design: a total of 105 day
    old broiler chicks will be weighed and randomly
    assigned to 5 dietary treatments in a CRD with each
    treatments having 21 birds and replicates of 7 birds.
    The experiment will last for 56 days, individual birds
    will be weighed at the commencement of the
    experiment to obtain the intial weight of the birds.
    Subsequently, weight data will be taken weekly for computation
    of mean body weight of birds, feed consumption will be
    measured by calculating the difference in the quantity of feed
    offtered daily and the quantity left.

    *. Experimental Diets: a standard broiler starter and finisher


    diets will be formulated and fortified with tryptophan at 0.0,
    0.10, 0.15, 0.20 and 0.25% to represent treatments 1,2,3,4,
    and 5 respectively.

    *. Statistical analysis: data that will be generated from the


    experiment will be statiscally analyzed, using the analysis of
    variance procedures. Significant means will be seperated by
    Ducan new multiple range test as outlined by obi (1990).
