Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the efects of stocking density and litter type on growth performance of broiler chickens as well as dressing percentage and some litter quality indicators. 684 male broiler (Ross PM 3) was used for a 6 weeks period in the experiment. The day-old chicks were randomly assigned in two litter groups: Rice hulls and wood shavings. Each litter group was further divided in three stocking density (15, 19 and 23 chicks/m 2). Chicks in the each group were randomized into three replicates at hatch and they were housed in a deep litter pens (1x2 m, each) in an environmentally controlled house. The litter type and stocking density had significant efect on the final body weight of broiler (P<0.05, P<0.001), lenght of foot pad lesions of the birds (P<0.001, P<0.001), litter moisture (P<0.01, P<0.05) and litter pH contents (P<0.05, P<0.05). The results of this study suggest that greater stocking density more than 15 chicks per square meter and rice hull adversely afects live body weight of broilers and main litter quality indicators. But up to a critical point, profitability increases with increased stocking density because of the reduction of fixed cost and more kilograms production of broiler per area. Depends on the price and availability rice hull can be used as litter material instead of wood shaving.

Özet

Bu çalışma etlik piliçlerde yerleşim sıklığı ve altlık tipinin büyüme performansı, karkas randımanı ve altlık kalite parametreleri üzerine etkisini araştırmak amacı ile yapılmıştır. Çalışmada Ross PM 3 genotipi 684 adet erkek etlik civciv kullanılmış ve çalışma 6 hafta sürmüştür. Çevre kontrollü bir kümeste yer alan deneme ünitesinde; pirinç kavuzu ve odun talaşının kullanıldığı gruplar ile herbir altlık grubu üzerinde; metrekare alanda 15, 19 ve 23 adet civcivin yer aldığı (2x3=6) altı ana grup oluşturulmuş ve her ana grupta 3 tekrarlı grup yer almıştır. Altlık türü ve barındırma yoğunluğunun canlı ağırlık (P<0.05, P<0.001), ayak tabanı lezyonu (P<0.001, P<0.001), altlık rutubet (P<0.01, P<0.05) ve pH (P<0.05, P<0.05) üzerine etkisi önemli bulunmuştur. Çalışmada birim metrekare alanda onbeşten fazla hayvan sayısı ve pirinç kavuzunun canlı ağırlık ve altlık kalitesini olumsuz etkilediği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Ancak birim alandaki sabit masrafarın azalması ve üretim miktarının artmasından dolayı kritik bir noktaya kadar yerleşim sıklığı artırılabilir. Fiyat ve elde edilme imkanlarına bağlı olarak odun talaşı yerine pirinç kabuğu da altlık olarak kullanılabilir.
