Abstract

Domestication of poultry is one of the major developments for humanity, has had a profound effect on to provide protein needs for humans. Domestication; is a continuous process in which anatomy, behavior and physiology are modified according to specific needs. Since first domesticated, chickens have been grown for meat and eggs, and many studies have been done in recent years on the behavior and welfare of chickens. There are complex behavioral reactions that chickens have developed against changes in the physical and sociological environment. Knowing the important behavioral characteristics of the chickens by the producers will enable the production of healthier chickens, resulting in higher quality production. In this article, some behaviors such as nest selection, perching, intra-group relations and feeding of chicken were discussed.

Özet

Kümes hayvanlarının evcilleştirilmesi, insanlık için önemli gelişmelerden biridir ve insanlar için protein ihtiyacı sağlamada büyük etkisi olmuştur. Evcilleştirme; anatomi, davranış ve fizyolojinin spesifik ihtiyaçlara göre modifiye edildiği süreklilik arz eden bir süreçtir. İlk evcilleştirilmesinden beri, tavuklar eti ve yumurtası için yetiştirilmiş ve son yıllarda tavukların davranışı ve refahı konusunda çok sayıda çalışma yapılmıştır. Tavukların fiziksel ve sosyolojik ortamdaki değişimlere karşı geliştirdiği karmaşık davranışsal tepkiler vardır. Üreticiler tarafından tavuklarının önemli davranış özelliklerinin bilinmesi, daha sağlıklı tavukların yetiştirilmesini sonuçta daha fazla ve kaliteli üretim yapılmasını sağlayacaktır. Bu makalede tavuklarda folluk seçimi, tüneme, grup içi ilişkiler ve beslenme gibi bazı davranış özellikleri ele alınmıştır.
