Alternatif Kanatlı Yetiştiriciliği: Beç Tavuğu Yetiştiriciliği

Beç tavuğu Afrika kıtasında yabani olarak yaşamakta ve buradaki aile işletmelerinde yoğun bir şekilde yetiştirilmektedir. Anavatanı Afrika kıtası olmasına rağmen dünyada yetiştiriciliği hızla artmaktadır. Günümüzde hızlı bir şekilde gelişmekte olan organik hayvancılıkta kullanılabilecek önemli bir alternatif gen kaynağıdır. Farklı iklim koşullarına uyum sağlayabilmeleri, iyi olmayan çevre koşullarında ekonomik düzeyde verim verebilmeleri ve hastalıklara karşı dayanıklı olmaları en büyük avantajlarıdır. Bunun yanında özellikle kırsaldaki işletmelerinin çevresinde bulunan böcekleri, keneleri, kurtçukları, fareleri ve yılanları rahatlıkla yiyebildiklerinden bu zararlılarla biyolojik mücadelede rahatlıkla kullanılabilirler. Bu avantajlarından olayı Beç tavukları Türkiyede de alternatif kanatlı üretiminde kullanılabilecek bir potansiyele sahip bulunmaktadır. Bu makalede Beç tavuklarının önemi ve genel özellikleri üzerinde durulmuştur.

Alternative Poultry Breeding: Guinea Fowl Breeding

Guinea fowl live on the Africa continent as wild and where used intensively family livestock farming in the rural. Although the homeland of the Africa continent, Guinea growing rapidly increasing in the World. Nowadays, Guinea fowl is an important alternative genetic resource can be used in organic livestock farming which developing quickly. Able to adapt to different climatic conditions, have an economic efficiency level in the dont good environmental conditions and being resistant to diseases are the biggest advantages. Besides, Guinea fowl eats insects, ticks, worms, mouse and snakes, especially in the surrounding of the livestock farming in the rural it can be used for biological control of these pests easily. Because of these advantages, Guinea fowl has a potential for alternative poultry production in Turkey. In this review, importance and general characteristics of Guinea fowl are given.
