A Study on Body Weight and Carcass Characteristics and Sex in Broilers.
Abstract
In this study, it was aimed to determine the level of relationship between the carcass and piece weights of chickens and their gender. The body weight, carcass, thigh, wing, breast, heart, liver and gizzard values obtained for this purpose belong to Ross 308 hybrid broiler chickens from the commercially operating slaughterhouses in Kahramanmaraş. 60 broiler chickens (30 females-30 males) were obtained from the slaughterhouse and the measurements of the body weight before slaughter and the values of the relevant carcass, chicken parts (leg, breast, wing) and internal organs (heart, liver, gizzard) after slaughter were taken. In the study, the dependent variable was sex, the independent variables were body weight, carcass, thigh, wing, breast, heart, liver and gizzard, and logistic regression binary analysis was used.
According to the estimation results, the reference category was male (1), and the probability value in the test of the model coefficients was found to be 0.036 (p<0.05). The most significant independent variable explaining the relationship between carcass and piece weights and gender of chickens compared to other independent variables was found to be breast (0.084), and the most insignificant was gizzard (0.939).
