“…Their values were respectively 1900 g, 2010 g with the same strain. Houndonougbo et al (2009) meanwhile, got 1662 g at 42 days with ROSS 308 strain fed with controlled rations in Beninese farms. On the other hand, Dei and Bumbie (2011) obtained in Ghana a daily weight gain moving from 58 to 64 g, depending on the food presentation.…”

To investigate impact of diet management on production and on economic outcomes in broilers was the aim of this study. Thus, 1062 chicks were studied over 91 days. Diet was formulated daily and the management was based on free access (ad libitum) to water and food. Consumption index, mortality, food costs and profitability were estimated, while daily gain average was estimated only for 50 chicks. The study pointed out an increasing food consumption, inversely proportional to the temperature decrease (p<0.01).The consumption index decreased from 45,31 at the 9th week to 1,14 at the 13th week. The overall mortality was about 21, 78%. The average weight at week 14 was 1590, 02g. The average daily gain increased from 0,98g to 49,86g. The correlation between food intake and food costs was +0,917 (p<0, 01). The cost of one kg of live weight was 1546, 14 f.cfa, while its selling price was about 1625 f.cfa. The main profit per kg was therefore +91, 73 f.cfa. Finally, when compared with other tropic countries, it was registered a higher mortality, lower daily gain average, lower final live weight and lower consumption index. Thus, diet variability showed medium livestock and economic performances that could be performed.

“…Beside the challenges of feed quality (Bastianelli et al., 2005; Houndonougbo et al., 2012) and feed costs (Leeson & Summers, 2005; Omole et al., 2005), there is serious challenge of negative effect of high ambient temperature (Attia, Al‐Harthi, et al, 2020; Attia, Bovera, et al., 2020; Fathi et al., 2013; Khan et al., 2011; Mashaly et al., 2004; Muiruri & Harrison, 1991) which has posed a serious constraint to a profitable and sustainable broiler chicken production under hot and humid tropical climate. In fact, tropical conditions limit growth and performance of broiler chickens (Gordon & Charles, 2002; Renaudeau et al., 2012).…”

There has been an unprecedented increase in global animal production, especially in subtropical and tropical areas in the last two decades (Renaudeau et al., 2012). The increase in the demand for food is due to a rise in human population (Godfray et al., 2010). Due to its potential role to provide food and livelihood securities (Paswan et al., 2014), poultry production, especially broiler production, are expected to meet the critical shortage in animal protein needed by Africa (Hatab et al., 2019).There has been growing concerns on the impacts of climate change on livestock production. For example, in West Africa, the expected increase in average temperature by 2°C-6°C by the year 2100 (Sylla et al., 2016) portends a serious challenge to sustainable broiler production. Due to the climatic challenge, heat stress events are expected to become more frequent in livestock species (Rahimi et al., 2020). A study by Tawfeek et al. (2014) showed that high ambient temperature adversely affected the performance of broiler chickens under high ambient temperature. However, the authors indicated that supplementation of antioxidants ameliorated the effects of thermal stress on the birds. Therefore, the diets of the birds are required to be adjusted to the climatic conditions (Attia & Hassan, 2017;Nir, 1992;Suganya et al., 2015) and also to the prevailing economic status of the countries where they are produced.The fast rate of development of the poultry production in tropical countries has also engendered a situation of overdependence on

The current scenario requires the application of new computational tools for the feed formulation strategy that uses mathematical modeling in decision making. Noteworthy is the nonlinear programming, which aims not only to formulate a diet that meets the needs of the animal, but also the minimum cost and the maximum profit margin. Thus, the work aimed to validate the use of the nonlinear model (NLM), with maximization of the economic return, through estimates of animal performance and feed costs, according to the price variation of the kg of the broiler (price historical average of 2009 and 2010), the phases of creation and sex. For this purpose, 480 broiler broiler chickens, 240 males and 240 females of the same strain (Cobb 500) were used, from 1 to 56 days of age. The experimental design was entirely randomized, totaling 6 treatments (increasing or decreasing the average historical price of live chicken by 25% or 50%), with 4 replicates and 10 broiler chickens per experimental plot. Performance (weight gain and feed consumption), total energy consumption and profit margin were evaluated. Regarding the formulation principle (Linear and Nonlinear), the performance was very similar in relation to the studied parameters. However, when simulated values of 50% below the historical average, performance was significantly impaired in this specific condition. However, due to the profit margin, it demonstrated that the principle of nonlinear formulation allows to significantly reduce losses (P <0.05), mainly in unfavorable conditions of the price of chicken in the market. It is concluded that the nonlinear principle is more appropriate, since the requirements of all nutrients are automatically adjusted by the mathematical model and with the premise of increasing profitability, different from the linear one, which is to achieve maximum performance and not is directly related to the economic factor.
