Abstract

Summary: For a better understanding of the dynamics of animals' behavior an observation, recording and validation method has been improved which clarifies the differentiation in roughage composition by means of eating kinetics. This method makes it possible to continuously and closely monitor a unique animal's behavior by recording its activities individually and through its group with minimal disturbance to animals. In this method, a camera monitoring system supported by computer was assembled, in indoors recording for 24 hours a day from the top of animals. Penned young sheep (n=6, treatments=4) were fed with four of completely different fiber sources; Barley Straw, Corn Silage, Alfalfa Hay and Sugar Beet Pulp ad libitum, 6 times a day in 4 hour meal intervals and eating behavior of animals were investigated on. BS group animals spent the shortest time for eating 157.2 min with less number of eating bouts 14.4 times and consumed lowest dry matter (%1.08 of liveweight). AH group animals responded to their base diet very well that longer time of eating occurred (218 min) in highly repeated terms of 19.7 times a day and dry matter intake was %3.3 of liveweight. CS was consumed with the longest time spent for eating (219.8 min), number of eating bouts was not as frequent as AH group with 18.4 times and intake was %2.32 of liveweight. SBP dry matter intake was %2.38 of liveweight. Animals consumed SBP in shorter bouts (189.7 min) than CS and AH, but the number of eating bouts has been significantly higher (22.7 times/day), which means that SBP animals preferred shorter but more frequent meals. The heaviest feed consumption was occurred at sunset. In controlled indoor conditions at individual pens, animals spent most of their time resting (%73).

Özet

Özet: Hayvan davranışlarının daha iyi anlaşılabilmesi için bir gözlem, kayıt ve değerlendirme yöntemi geliştirilerek farklı kaba yemlerin yem yeme davranışları üzerine etkisi incelenmiştir. Bu yöntem sayesinde hayvanları irrite etmeden yakından ve sürekli, ferdi ve grup olarak davranışlarını gözlemek ve kaydetmek mümkün olmaktadır. Bu yöntemde, bilgisayar destekli bir kamera izleme düzeneği kurulmuş, 7 gün 24 saat süresince ferdi bölmelerde tutulan ve 4 farklı kaba yem tüketen kuzuların davranışları gözlenerek değerlendirilmiştir. Her birinde 6 baş Erkek Merinos kuzu bulunan gruplara sırası ile Arpa Samanı (AS), Mısır Siiajı (MS), Yonca Samanı (YS), ve yaş Şeker Pancarı Posası (ŞPP), günde 6 öğün şeklinde 4er saatlik peryotlarla ad libitum olarak verilmiştir. AS grubu, seyrek sıklıkta, 24 saatte 14.4 kez, toplam en kısa süre yem yemiş (157.2 dakika), en az miktarda KM (% 1.08 / CA) tüketmiştir. YS grubundaki kuzular daha uzun sürede (218 dak.) daha sık olarak (19.7 kez), canlı ağırlıklarının %3.3 ü kadar KM tüketmişlerdir. MS, en uzun sürede (219.8 dak), YS' na göre daha seyrek, 18.4 kez, canlı ağırlığın %2.329 si kadar tüketilmiştir. ŞPP %2.38 / CA kadar, MS ve YS den daha kısa sürede (189.7 dak), daha sık olarak (22.7 kez / gün) yani daha kısa fakat sık tekrarlanan peryotlarda tüketilmiştir. Hayvanların en fazla yem tüketimi gün batımında olmuş, barınak koşullarında ferdi bölmelerde tutulan hayvanlar zamanlarının büyük kısmını (%73) yatarak geçirmişlerdir.
