Abstract: In the fermentation bed feeding mode, the growth traits of broiler hen were recorded in 3 batches, after 10 weeks, 40 hens were chosen from every mode for slaughtering, and the slaughter performance and quality analysis are carried out. Results showed that: for growth traits, the weight of 5 and 9 weeks of the first batch in fermentation bed feeding mode was significantly higher than that of flat online mode (P<0.01), the weight of 5, 6 and 9 weeks of the third batch in fermentation bed feeding mode was significantly higher than that of flat online mode (P<0.01); for meat quality, the filtration rate, moisture content and crude protein of chest muscle in flat online mode were significantly inferior to those in fermentation bed mode (P<0.05). The pH value and shear force of leg muscle quality in fermentation bed mode was significantly lower than those in flat online mode (P<0.05). Therefore, the fermentation bed feeding mode is superior to the flat online mode and can achieve zero discharge and clean production, worthy to be recommended to small and medium-sized feeding farms.
