Effect of Yucca schidigera spraying in different litter materials on some litter traits and breast burn of broilers at the fifth week of production

Bu çalışma farklı altlık materyallerine değişik dozlarda ilave edilen Yucca schidigeranın üretimin 5. haftasında bazı altlık özellikleri (nem, pH, amonyak, toplam koloni sayısı, Enterobakteri ve maya-küf düzeyleri) ile etçi piliçlerde göğüs yanıkları üzerine etkisini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Bu çalışmada toplam 432 adet bir günlük yaşta erkek civciv (ROSS 308) kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada civcivler 170x94x90 cm (genişlik x uzunluk x yükseklik) boyutlarındaki bölmelerin her birinde 12 adet olacak şekilde yerleştirilmiştir. Altlık materyali olarak bölmelerin yarısında talaş diğer yarısında pirinç kavuzu kullanılmıştır. Her altlık grubu denemenin 2. haftasından itibaren her hafta altlığa 0, %4 ve %8 Yucca schidigera püskürtülecek şekilde 3 eşit alt gruba ayrılmıştır. Kullanılan altlık malzemelerinin ve altlığa değişik düzeylerde Yucca schidigera ilavesinin üretimin 5. haftasında incelenen altlık özellikleri ile etçi piliçlerde göğüs yanıklarını etkilemediği görülmüştür (P>0.05).

Farklı altlık materyallerine püskürtülen Yucca schidigeranın üretimin 5. haftasında bazı altlık özellikleri ile etçi piliçlerin göğüs yanıkları üzerine etkisi

This study was carried out to determine the effects of different levels of Yucca schidigera spraying in different litter materials on some litter traits (moisture, pH, ammonia, total colony count, number of Enterobacteriaceae and number of yeast and mold) and breast burn of broilers at the 5th week of production. A total of four hundred thirty two 1-d-old male broiler chicks (ROSS-308) were used. In this study 12 chicks were put in each pen having 170x94x90 cm (depth x length x height). Half of the litter was wood shavings, the other was rice hull. Yucca schidigera extract was pulverized weekly at the level of 0, 4% and 8% to each pen from the second week of the study. Litter materials and Yucca schidigera spraying at different level did not affect the examined litter traits and breast burns of broilers (P>0.05) at the 5th week of production.
