Araştırma, Uşak İl Merkezi ve ilçelerinde sözleşmeli üretim yapan ticari işletmelerde kış, ilkbahar, yaz ve sonbahar mevsimlerinde yetiştirilen 80 adet broiler piliç sürüsünde (Ross 308) yürütülmüştür. Broiler piliç sürüleri canlı ağırlık, canlı ağırlık artışı, yem tüketimi, yemden yararlanma oranı, ölüm oranı ve EPEF yönünden 0-42 günlük büyüme döneminde haftalık olarak incelenmiştir. Kırk iki günlük piliçler FPD ve HB yönünden skorlanmıştır. Mevsim ticari koşullardaki broiler sürülerin performansı ile FPD ve HB görülen piliç prevelansını önemli ölçüde etkilemiştir. İlkbahar ve Sonbahar sürüleri, Kış ve Yaz sürülerine göre daha yüksek performans göstermiştir. Ayak tabanı yanığı ve diz yanığı tespit edilen broiler piliçlerin prevalansının Kış sürülerinde en yüksek ve Yaz sürülerinde en düşük olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu bulgular, mevsimlerin broiler işletmelerinin ekonomik performansı ile piliçlerin refahını önemli ölçüde etkileyebileceğini göstermektedir. Sonuç olarak, mevsimlerin broiler piliçlerin üzerindeki olumlu ve olumsuz etkileri hakkında daha fazla bilgi edinmenin, üretimi teşvik edebileceği ve sürdürülebilir sürü yönetimi için yenilikçi stratejileri teşvik etmek ve broiler endüstrisinin hayvan refahı standartlarına uyumunu geliştirmek için önemli veriler sağlayabileceği sonucuna varılmıştır.

The Effect of Season on the Performance, Health, and Welfare of Broilers

Öz

The research was carried out on 80 broiler flocks (Ross 308) raised during the winter, spring, summer, and autumn seasons in commercial enterprises in Uşak City Center and its districts engaged in contract farming. Broiler flocks were examined weekly during the 0-42 day growth period for body weight, weight gain, feed consumption, feed conversion ratio, mortality and EPEF. The 42-day-old broiler was scored for FPD and HB. The season significantly impacted the broiler flock's performance and the birds' prevalence with FPD and HB under commercial conditions. Spring and autumn flocks showed higher performance than winter and summer flocks. The prevalence of birds with foot pad burn and hock burn was highest in winter flocks and lowest in summer flocks. These findings indicate that seasons can significantly impact broiler farms' economic performance and bird welfare. As a result, obtaining further information about the positive and negative effects of seasons on broilers can promote production and provide critical data to encourage innovative strategies for sustainable flock management and improve broiler industry compliance with animal welfare standards.
