Abstract

Ninety, day old broiler chicks were randomly divided to three groups including: 1- Intact 2- Sham-operated 3- Caecectomised. When the chicks were 6 days old, the caeca of the chicks in group 3 were surgically removed, and in the sham-operated group, an incision was perfomed on the abdomen of chicks and after little manipulation of intestine, the incision was sutured. The chicks of all groups were reared in the same condition and fed by formulated diets for 49 days. The body weight and feed consumption of the chickens was measured when they were 6(prior to the surgery), 8, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42 and 49 days old. The mean body weight of sham and caecectomised groups, up to day 21 and 35 of their age were significantly lower to the intact group, respectively (P<0.05). But after these ages till the end of rearing period no significant difference was observed between body weight means of the three groups (P>0.05). At the end of every week in rearing period, there was no significant difference between feed consumption and FEED CONVERSION RATIO in the three groups(P>0.05).According to the results of this study it can be concluded that in the BROILER CHICKENs fed by adequate protein and low fiber diet, caeca has no influence on body WEIGHT GAIN and-feed' conversion ratio.
