Evaluation of Growth Performance, Carcass Characteristics, Litter Quality and Foot Lesions of Broilers Reared under High Stocking Densities
Two repeated experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of different stocking densities onbroiler performance, carcass characteristics, litter quality and foot lesionsusing 5224 one day-old Ross 308 broilers. In each experiment, a total of 2612 one day-old broilers were allocated in 16 floor pens at densities of 16, 18, 20 and 22 birds/m2 of floor space in an environmentally controll...
متن کاملPerformance, foot-pad dermatitis and haemoglobin saturation in broiler chickens kept on different types of litter Leistung, Häufigkeit an Pododermatitis und Hämoglobinsättigung bei Broilern bei Haltung auf verschiedenen Einstreusubstraten
Intensive selection of broiler breeders in the direction of rapid growth rate and increased final body weight has led to the appearance of a number of metabolic diseases in broilers. The most important among them include sudden death syndrome (SDS) and ascites which are directly associated with cardiovascular and respiratory system failure of rapidly growing birds (KRANEN et al., 1998; IMAEDA, ...
متن کاملCool perches improve the growth performance and welfare status of broiler chickens reared at different stocking densities and high temperatures.
The present study investigated the interaction of stocking density and cool perch availability on broiler chickens raised at high ambient temperature (>30.8°C). Behavior, live performance, and the incidence of footpad and hock burns and abdominal plumage damage were investigated over a 4-wk experimental period. A total of 1,152 one-day-old Arbor Acres chicks were subjected to a 2 (cool perches)...
متن کاملFoot pad dermatitis and hock burn in broiler chickens and degree of inheritance.
A total of 2,118 birds from 2 strains were allocated to 12 groups of 93 to 100 each in 2 time-separated replicates. The development of foot pad dermatitis (FPD) and hock burn (HB) were recorded weekly from d 8 to slaughter on a set sample of live animals (7 per group). In addition, feet and hocks of all birds were investigated at slaughter at either 4, 6 (fast-growing strain), 8, or 10 (slow-gr...
متن کاملEffect of Different Levels of Germinated Barley on Live Performance and Carcass Traits in Broiler Chickens
An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of different levels of germinated barley (GB) on live performance and carcass traits in broiler chickens. The experiment lasted for 5 weeks starting from 7 days of age and ending at 42 days of age. Chicks (Ross 308) were fed six dietary treatments including a corn–soy diet (corn diet), a barley–soy diet (barley diet), a barley diet plus enzymes...
