Abstract

The study was conducted to determine effects of different types floor on behavioural properties and cleaning situations of Brown Swiss cows. The experiment was carried out at the Research Farm of the Faculty of Agriculture at Atatürk University by using 33 Brown Swiss cows. The cows were allocated to three groups called as concrete, rubber mat and mattress groups. The results have shown that behavioural traits in different types floor groups such as lying, standing, rumination at standing position behaviours were highly significant (P<0.01) among groups, the feeding and drinking behaviours were also significant (P<0.05), but, rumination behaviour at lying positions were not statistically significant. Hygiene scores of the different groups were highly significant (P<0.01). As a result of the study, it was concluded that mattress should be used in tied closed barn for lactating Brown Swiss cows.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, farklı zemin tiplerinin Esmer ırkı süt sığırlarında davranış özellikleri ve temizlik skorları üzerine etkileri araştırılmıştır. Denemenin hayvan materyali Atatürk Üniversitesi Ziraat Fakültesi Araştırma ve Uygulama Çiftliği Sığırcılık Şubesinde bulunan 33 baş sığır oluşturmuştur. Deneme beton, kauçuk ve matress olmak üzere 3 grup oluşturulmuştur. Deneme sonunda elde edilen verilere göre davranış özellikleri bakımından zemin grupları arasındaki farklar yatma davranışı, ayakta durma davranışı ve ayakta ruminasyon davranışı çok önemli (P<0.01), yem yeme ve su içme davranışları önemli (P<0.05) ve yatarak ruminasyon davranışı önemsiz bulunmuştur. Temizlik skorları bakımından gruplar arasındaki farklılıklar çok önemli bulunmuştur (P<0.01). Araştırma sonunda matress zemin tipinin kapalı bağlı ahırlarda barındırılan sağmal Esmer ırkı sığırlarında kullanılması tavsiye edilmiştir.
