Etlik Hindilerde Yerleşim Sıklığının Bazı Kan Stres Parametrelerine Etkileri
Abstract
Stocking density is one of the important issues in
turkey meat production which is enjoyed by consumers as a source of animal
protein. This issue is examined in terms of both animal welfare and efficiency
in this research. The commercial hybrid white broiler turkey line Hybrid
Converter poults were individually numbered following hatch. Study took place
on 200 poults. 25 males and 25 females were set in 4 different floor sized
cages according to sex. Slaughter age weights in those cages were set to be 30,
40, 50 and 60 kg m-2 respectively.
Blood was collected in 2nd and 6th weeks and slaughter
ages of 16 weeks for females and 20 weeks for males. Blood laboratory analyses
were made after collection where each numbered individual in the pens was taken
as a replicate. Findings obtained from the study were interpreted for animal
welfare and economic issues based on general practice and stress level in the
world and our country by subjecting statistical analysis. Stress on the poults
have been found to be increasing depending on increasing stocking density and it was concluded that it would be appropriate
in terms of animal welfare and ethical conviction for not exceeding certain
limits of stocking density within terms of efficiency.
