BİCON-2` NİN LEGHORN TAVUKLARINDA YUMURTA VERİMİNE TESİRİ ÜZERİNDE BİR ÇALIŞMA

One hen in Bicon-2 group has been yield 34.40 eggs during the test period (that is 62 days), when another hen in control group had only been yielded 31.06 eggs. But, on the other hand, the yield of total Bicon-2 group has been 18065 eggs, when the control groups been 16310 respectively during the test period of 62 days. The difference of 1755 eggs (that is 10.7 %) has been on behalf on the Bicon-2 group.

Although the cost of the Bicon-2 per hen was 58.02 kuruş, but against this excess cost 3.04 eggs have been overyielded in respect of control groups; and consuming that one egg is of 38.10 kuruş value, this overproduction would make a total of 115.82 kuruş and 57.80 kuruş difference has been net return for each head of hens in Bicon-2 group.
