Abstract

This study was carried out to determine the fattening performance of Herik lambs reared under in intensive conditions. Twenty single male lambs, all with an mean body weight of 20.78 kg, were used in the study. Concentrate was given ad libitum and alfalfa was given in the amount of 300 g/lamb/day. The lambs were slaughtered when they reached the live weight of 40 kg. In this study, daily weight gain was generally tended to increase between the initial day and 56th day while it tended to decrease from 56th day to the end of fattening. During the fattening, the daily body weight gain and the feed efficiency were determined as 211 g and 9.668 respectively. Also, the temperature humidity index was determined above to accepted threshold value in ruminants along fattening period. Consequently, daily live weight gain and feed efficiency of Herik lambs were worse than those of Turkish native breeds at the slaughter weight of 40 kg.The unsatisfactory in fattening performance of Herik lambs may be depend on exposed high temperature along fattening period and till now lack of improvement studies on them. Thus, researchs should be done for fattening performance of Herik lambs under different breeding conditions.

Entansif Koşullarda ve Isı Stresi altında Herik Kuzuların Besi Performansı

Year 2022, Volume: 15 Issue: 4, 390 - 394, 31.12.2022

Abstract

Bu çalışma, entansif şartlarda yetiştirilen Herik kuzularında besi performansını belirlenmek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırmada ortalama canlı ağırlığı 20.78 kg olan 20 baş tekiz erkek kuzu kullanılmıştır. Kuzular ad libitum konsantre yem ve günde kuzu başına 300 gr kuru yonca otu ile beslenmişlerdir. Kuzular 40 kg canlı ağırlığa ulaştıklarında kesime sevk edilmişlerdir. Bu araştırmada, günlük canlı ağırlık artışının besinin ilk günü ile 56. gün arasında artma eğiliminde olduğu 56. günden besi sonuna kadar ise azalma eğiliminde olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Besi süresince ortalama günlük canlı ağırlık artışı 211 g ve yemden yararlanma oranı 9.668 kg olarak belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca besi dönemi boyunca ısı nem indeksinin, ruminantlar için kabul edilen eşik değerin üzerinde olduğu belirlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak, 40 kg kesim ağırlığındaki Herik kuzularının günlük canlı ağırlık artışı ve yemden yararlanma oranının aynı ağırlıktaki yerli ırk kuzulardan daha düşük olduğu bulunmuştur. Herik kuzularının besi performansının düşük olması, besi dönemi boyunca yüksek sıcaklığa maruz kalmasına ve bugüne kadar üzerinde ıslah çalışmalarının yapılmamış olmasına bağlı olabilir. Bu nedenle, Herik kuzularının farklı yetiştirme koşullarında besi performansı ile ilgili araştırmalar yapılmalıdır.
