Abstract

The study was carried out to evaluate
the effects of early feeding on development of turkey poults. A total of 414
day-old Nicholas turkey pouts were obtained from a hatchery of an integration
in Bolu province for the two experiments. The poults are divided into two
groups, which are the poults fed with starter diet and the fasted (control)
group of birds in each experiment. Experiments were held in summer and in
winter periods respectively. The effects of early feeding on the transportation
boxes to the live weight is observed at 1, 2, 4, 6. weeks of life and
liveability of the poults are controlled daily. Corresponding to the data
obtained in this research, we concluded that poults allowed to access early
feeding had better (P˂0.05) live weights during the first week of their lives.
But this advantage ended in the second week and didn’t show up again during the
6 weeks’ time (P˃0.05). The mortality was observed to be higher in fasted
groups. Feed consumption of the groups also seemed not to be affected by the
application.

Hindi Palazlarının Yumurtadan Çıkışı Takiben Nakil Kutularında Hemen Yemlenmesinin Palazlarda Gelişim Performansına Etkisi

Abstract

Bu çalışma, hindi palazlarının canlı
ağırlık artışları üzerine erken beslemenin etkilerini değerlendirmek amacıyla
yürütülmüştür. Iki kez gerçekleştirilen denemelerde toplam 414 adet hindi
palazı kullanılmıştır. Canlı materyal Bolu ilindeki bir entegre kuruluşa ait kuluçkahaneden
temin edilmiştir. Her iki denemede de hindi palazları erken yemlenen ve aç
bırakılan (kontrol) olarak iki gruba ayrılmıştır. Denemeler, sırasıyla yaz ve
kış döneminde gerçekleşitirilmiştir. Nakil kutularında hemen yemlemenin 1., 2.,
4. ve 6. hafta canlı ağırlıklarına etkisi araştırılmış, yem tüketimive ölüm
oranı günlük olarak takip edilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre ilk hafta
canlı ağırlık bakımından erken yeme ulaşan grup daha yüksek bir değer
sergilemekle beraber (P˂0.05), ikinci haftadan sonra geç yemlenen grup diğer
palaz grubuna yetişmiş ve kesim yaşına kadar değişik bir durum ortaya
çıkmamıştır (P˃0.05). Erken yeme ulaştırılan grupta ölüm oranı düşük olarak gözlemlenmiştir.
. Gruplarda yem değerlendirmenin de uygulamadan etkilenmediği gözlemlenmiştir.
