Extract
In Bangladesh about 78% of poultry eggs and 86% of poultry meat are produced by smallholder farmers under scavenging system. The exotic breeds are famous for their high egg production but their adaptability under rural condition is a problem (Islam, 2003). There are reports that Fayoumi chicken, although an exotic breed, can be reared under Asian climatic condition (Bagust, 1994) and therefore may be tried to adapt under our village situation. On the other hand, supplementation of feed is required in order to get optimum growth of the scavenging birds under rural condition. Investigation was done on the growth performance of Fayoumi chicken under semi-scavenging feeding system in rural area of Bangladesh.
