Effects of Egg Weight on Hatchability Characteristics in Chukar Partridges

Year 2018, Volume: 7 Issue: 1, 1 - 6, 20.07.2018

Abstract

This
study was carried out to determine the effect of egg weight and weight loss
during hatching on incubation results and embryonic mortality in chukar
partridges. In the study, 308 eggs obtained from the 48-week old chukar
partridge grown in Bahri Dağdaş Institute of Agricultural Researches were used.
According to weight of partridge eggs; <19, 19-20, 20-21, 21-22, 22-23, 23
<g. There was no effect of egg weight on hatchability, fertility rate and
hatchability of fertile eggs. With this research, it was concluded that the
results of incubation in chukar partridge were not affected by egg weight. It
should not be forgotten that for the successful incubation results in partridge
breeding, the selection of breeders, the female/male ratio, the type of
breeding, the feeding and the storage conditions of the eggs obtained are
important.

Kınalı Kekliklerde Yumurta Ağırlığının Kuluçka Sonuçları Üzerine Etkisi

Year 2018, Volume: 7 Issue: 1, 1 - 6, 20.07.2018

Abstract

Bu
çalışma kınalı kekliklerde yumurta ağırlığının ve kuluçka sırasında oluşan
ağırlık kaybının kuluçka sonuçları ile embriyonik ölümler üzerine etkisini
belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırmada Bahri Dağdaş Uluslararası Tarımsal
Araştırmalar Enstitüsü Müdürlüğünde yetiştirilen 48 haftalık yaşta bulunan
kınalı kekliklerden elde edilen 308 adet yumurta kullanılmıştır. Keklik
yumurtaları ağırlıklarına göre gruplar; <19, 19-20, 20-21, 21-22, 22-23,
23<g şeklinde oluşturulmuştur. Kuluçka randımanı, döllülük oranı ve çıkım
oranına yumurta ağırlığının etkisi bulunmamıştır. Bu araştırma ile kınalı
kekliklerde kuluçka sonuçlarının yumurta ağırlığından etkilenmediği sonucuna
varılmıştır. Keklik yetiştiriciliğinde başarılı kuluçka sonuçları için,
damızlıkların seçimi, dişi/erkek oranı, damızlıkların barındırılma şekli,
beslenmeleri ve elde edilen yumurtaların depolama şartlarının da önemli olduğu
unutulmamalıdır.
