Abstract

In this study; influence of nesting litter material type on nest preference of native brown layer strain and white layer strain in deep litter and free range systems was investigated. Wheat straw, rough plane wood shaving and granulated pumice stone was randomly placed to 2 sections in nest box. The effect of production system and genotype on nest preference was not significant (P>0.05). Influence of nesting litter material type on nest preference of layer strain was significant (P<0.01). Interactions between nesting litter material type and production system (P<0.01), nesting litter material type and genotype (P<0.01) and nesting litter material type, production system and genotype (P<0.01) were significant. In conclusion; layer strains was preferred nesting litter material type in this order; wheat straw (59.39%), rough plane wood shaving (28.48%), floor (9.41%) and granulated pumice stone (2.27%).

Özet

Bu çalışmada; altlıklı yer ve serbest sistemde yetiştirilen yerli kahverengi ve beyaz yumurtacı genotiplerin folluk seçimine folluk altlık materyali tipinin etkisi araştırılmıştır. Folluk gözlerine tesadüfî olarak 2’şer göze buğday sapı, kaba rende talaşı ve granül halde ponza taşı konulmuştur. Araştırmada yetiştirme sisteminin ve genotipin follukta altlık seçimine etkisi önemsiz bulunmuştur (P>0.05). Follukta altlık tipi tavukların yumurtlama tercihlerini etkilemiştir (P<0.01). Altlık tipi x yetiştirme sistemi, altlık tipi x genotip ve altlık x yetiştirme sistemi x genotip interaksiyonları önemli (P<0.01) bulunmuştur. Sonuç olarak tavuklar yumurtlamak için follukta altlık tipine göre tercih sırası, buğday sapı (%59.39), kaba rende talaşı (%28.48), yer (%9.41) ve ponza taşı (%2.27) şeklindedir.
