tailieunhanh - Rural Radio Resource Pack: POULTRY REARING

The experimental design was factorial with diet and environment as the main effects. Analyses of variance were conducted to determine the effects of diet, environment and their interaction on gain, feed conversion, and breast meat yield. Body weight and feed efficiency (feed/gain) were affected primarily by environment temperature. Turkeys grown in the warm temperature environment had less body weight especially at 19 wks of age with somewhat better feed efficiency (Table 4). Inclusion of moderate levels of canola meal and DDGS had no adverse effects on performance in comparison to the control diet in either environment | CTA partageons les connaissances au profit des communautés rurales sharing knowledge improving rural livelihoods Rural Radio Resource Pack No 04 2 POULTRY REARING IỈ CTA CTA is funded by the European Union The Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation CTA was established in 1983 under the Lomé Convention between the ACP African Caribbean and Pacific Group of States and the European Union Member States. Since 2000 it has operated within the framework of the ACP-EC Cotonou Agreement. CTA s tasks are to develop and provide services that improve access to information for agricultural and rural development and to strengthen the capacity of ACP countries to produce acquire exchange and utilise information in this area. Rural radio Radio remains despite all the interest in the new ICTs one of the most important communication tools in ACP rural communities. CTA began supporting rural radio back in 1991. Every year since then we ve produced a set of Rural Radio Resource Packs RRRPs . Each pack is on a specific topic - anything from crop storage and cassava to small ruminants and soil fertility. The choice of topics depends on what ACP partners suggest. The number of topics covered has now reached 51. Inside each pack are materials for a radio programme on that topic - interviews on cassette or CD a transcription and a suggested introduction for each interview technical information on the topic advice for how the pack can be used and a questionnaire for users to provide feedback to CTA. You can find most of the RRRP material on CTA s Rural Radio website http .
