Martinez Ch, Luis Hernan
The purpose of the trial was to evaluate the productive behavior of the broiler chickens in relation to body weight variations, food consumption and feed conversion, when hull-less barley, in different levels was included to replace corn in the ration. Four hundred Hubbard one day old chickens were used, distributed in five treatments in a completely randomized design. The concentrated mixtures were treatment I: 0%; treatment II: 25%; treatment III: 50%; treatment IV: 75% and treatment V: 100%, of hull-less barley substituting corn. Other ingredients in the diet were: soybean meal, wheat middling, fat animal, fish meal, oyster shell, salt, vitamins, minerals, methionine and coccidiostat. Total average of food intake per chickens was: 4.228, 4.096, 4.009, 3.933 and 3.383 g in treatments I, II, III, IV and V, respectively. The average body weight gain for the chickens were: 1.747,4; 1.628,0; 1.572,8; 1.454,8 and 1.250,8 g in treatments I, II, III, IV and V, respectively. Significant differences (P
