Serbest ve Altlıklı Yer Sisteminde Yetiştirilen Tavukların Bazı Verim Özelliklerinin Karşılaştırılması

Araştırma serbest sistem ve altlıklı yer sisteminde yetiştirilen tavukların bazı verim özellikleri bakımından karşılaştırılması amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Her yetiştirme sisteminde 150 adet olmak üzere toplam 300 adet Lohmann Brown tavuk kullanılmıştır. Serbest sistemde tavuk başına 4 m2 otlatma alanı ayrılmıştır. Tavuklar 16 haftalık yaşta araştırma kümesine alınmış ve 52 haftalık yaşa kadar verim özellikleri belirlenmiştir. Araştırmada üzerinde durulan özelliklerden yaşama gücü, % 50 verim yaşı, yumurta ağırlığı, tavuk-gün yumurta verimi, yem tüketimi, yemden yararlanma oranı ve dönem başı canlı ağırlığı bakımından gruplar arasında farklılık bulunmadığı, dönem sonu canlı ağırlığı bakımından ise önemli farklılık olduğu belirlenmiştir. Araştırmada altlıklı yer sistemindeki tavukların serbest sisteme göre daha fazla canlı ağırlık kazandıkları, ancak diğer özelliklerin yetiştirme sistemlerinden etkilenmediği sonucuna varılmıştır.

Comparison of Hens Reared in Free-Range and Deep-Litter Systems in Terms of Certain Production Characteristics

The study was carried out compare the hens reared in free range system and deep-litter system in terms of certain production characteristics. A total of 300 Lohmann Brown hens, with 150 hens in each of the groups were used in the study. In the free range system, 4 m2 grazing ground was allocated for each hen. The hens were taken into research henhouse at 16 weeks of age and production characteristics were determined up to 52 weeks of age. It was determined that out of the characteristics focused in the study, there is no significant difference between the groups in terms of viability, 50% production age, egg weight, hen-day egg production, feed efficiency, feed consumption and body weight at 18 week of age, whereas there is a significant difference in terms of final body weight. In the study, it was concluded that hens in the deep-litter system gained more body weight compared to those in the free-range system but the other characteristics were not affected by the husbandry systems.
