Abstract: The "Rubber plantation-Wenchang chicken" mode was used as the object, combination of quantitative and qualitative analysis method was adopted, the change statuses of soil fertility of rubber plantation and the growth of chicken were studied. Results showed that, compared with the control group, the available nitrogen content in rubber plantation soil was significantly different (P〈 0.05 ), available potassium content was highly significant difference (P〈0.01), and potential of hydrogen, organic matter and available phosphorus content were not significant (P 〉0.05). The average daily feed intake and weight gain (ADG) of Wenchang chicken in rubber plantation were lower than the control group, but the difference was not significant (P 〉0.05 ).
