The experiment was conducted at poultry farm of Chandra Shekar Azad University, Kanpur during summer season of date.. to assess the muscles composition, nutrient utilization and economics on feeding dried mushroom to broiler chickens. Broiler chicken supplemented with the edible P. florida mushroom, 20g/kg of dried P. eoes mushroom, and 20g/kg of dried P. sajor caju mushroom. Day-old broiler chicks from a single hatch were weighed individually and divided into 4 groups of six birds each at random. The birds were given a basic diet for starter and finisher rations for 0–3 and 4-6 weeks, respectively. One group (G1) was kept as the control, while the remaining three groups (G2, G3, and G4) given their chicks the same basic food as G1 combined with various types of mushrooms. Groups G2, G3, and G4 were fed 20g/kg of dry P. florida mushroom, 20g/kg of dried P. eoes mushroom, and 20g/kg of dried P. sajor caju mushroom. Throughout the six-week testing period, food and drink were freely available. Feed consumption, Muscles composition and nutrient utilization values were monitored weekly. Economics was also calculated. It was found that, muscles composition highest in G3 whereas nutrient utilization and benefit cost ratio highest in G2. The application of Pleurotuus sp.mushroom (P. florida, P.eoes, and P.sajor caju respectively) in different groups in the diet of broiler chicks improved the growth rate in summer season. The Pleurotous florida mushroom is therefore required for an improvement in growth performance during the summer.
