Abstract
This study was conducted to investigate the effects of genotype, sex and different feeding types on growth performances of turkeys. The study population containing White and Bronze Turkey poults was sheltered at completely closed and controlled compartments during an eight week period regardless of the sex and feeding type. The live weights of the turkeys on the 15th , 30th , 45th and60th days were determined by fixing with interpolation. At the end of the eight week period, White and Bronze turkeys were found to reach average live weights of 1711.44 g and 1318.08 g, respectively. Following the differentiation according to sex and feeding type, the average live weights of male-female White turkeys and male-female Bronze turkeys belonging to the intensive group were calculated as 6205.9-4750.0 g and as 5258.0-4112.9 g, respectively, at the end of the study period prior to slaughtering. On the other hand, the average live weights of male-female white turkeys and male-female bronze turkeys belonging to semi- intensive group were determined as 5631.8-4577.7 g, and as 5028.9-4133.0 g, respectively. The differences between the sex and feeding type groups in both genotypes were found to be statistically significant (P
Özet
Bu araştırma hindilerin gelişme performanslarına genotip, cinsiyet ve besi şeklinin etkisinin araştırılması amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırma materyali olan beyaz ve bronz hindi palazları cinsiyet ve besi şekli ayrımı yapılmadan 8 hafta süresince kontrollü kümeslerde büyütülmüşler, 15, 30, 45 ve 60. gün canlı ağırlıkları interpolasyonla tespit edilmiştir. Beyaz ve bronz hindilerin 8. hafta canlı ağırlıkları sırasıyla 1711.44 g ve 1318.08 g olarak belirlenmiştir. Cinsiyet ve besi şekli ayrımı yapıldıktan sonra kesime kadar olan süre sonunda entansif gruba ait beyaz hindilerin erkek ve dişilerin canlı ağırlıkları 6205.9 ve 4750.0 g, bronz hindilerin erkek ve dişileri 5258.0 ve 4112.9 g, yarı entansif gruba ait beyaz hindilerin erkek ve dişileri 5631.8 ve 4577.7 g, bronz hindilerin erkek ve dişileri 5028.9 ve 4133.0 g, olarak tespit edilmiştir. Her iki genotip grubuna cinsiyet ve besi şeklinin etkisi önemli bulunmuştur (P
