Effect of fattening length, sex and feather colour on growth and fattening performance in native Turkish geese
Amaç: Çalışma entansif şartlarda yetiştirilen yerli Türk kazlarında besi performansı üzerine; besi süresi, cinsiyet ve tüy renginin etkisini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır.Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmada toplam 145 adet kaz civcivi kullanılmıştır. Kazlar her bir besi süresi içinde (10 ve 12 hafta) tüy rengine göre 4 gruba bölündü. Kazlar, kanat numarası takılarak haftalık olarak tartıldı.Bulgular: Çalışma sonunda besi grupları arasında (10 ve 12 hafta) canlı ağırlık bakımından herhangi bir istatistik fark bulunmamıştır (p>0.05). Hem tüy rengi hem de cinsiyet ise 5. haftadan itibaren çalışma bitimine kadar canlı ağırlık üzerinde etkili olmuştur (p
Yerli Türk kazlarında besi performansı ve büyüme üzerine tüy rengi, cinsiyet ve besi süresinin etkisi
Aim: Study was undertaken to determine the intensive fattening performance of native Turkish geese and to underline the effects of fattening length, sex and feather colour on fattening performance.Materials and Methods: Total 145 daily goslings were used in the experiment. Birds divided into four groups according to their feather colour in each fattening (10 and 12 weeks) period. Birds with wing tags were individually weighed and all the birds were weighted weekly according to their groups.Results: There was not any statistical significance between the fattening groups (10 and 12 weeks) in term of weekly liveweight (p>0.05). Effects of both feather colour and sex on liveweight have started at the fifth week and continued until at the end of the fattening periods (p
