Abstract




Bu
çalışma, Pekin ördeklerinde güncel yerleşim sıklığının ördeklerin gelişme
performans kriterlerine etkilerini araştırmak üzere gerçekleştirilmiştir.
Toplam 240 ördek palazı 3, 5 ve 7 palaz m-2 yerleşim sıklıklarında
42 gün
süreyle yetiştirilmiştir. Canlı ağırlık, canlı ağırlık artışı,  yem tüketimi, yem dönüşüm oranı, ölüm oranı
ve üretim indeksi yetiştirme performansını tespit etmek için üzerinde durulan
kriterler olmuştur.  Düşük yerleşim
sıklığının olduğu gruplarda, özellikle de 3. haftadan sonra canlı ağırlık gözle
görülür şekilde yükselmiş (P<0.05), canlı ağırlık artışı ve toplam canlı
ağırlık ise birinci haftadan itibaren yükselmiştir (P<0.05). Elde edilen
birim alandaki toplam canlı ağırlık yerleşim sıklığının artışına paralel olarak
artış sergilemiş ve en yüksek seviyesini 7 palaz m-2 yerleşim
sıklığında elde etmiştir (P<0.05). Yem dönüşüm oranının ilk haftalık yaştan
itibaren yerleşim sıklığından etkilendiği, yerleşim sıklığının düşüşüyle
birlikte artış gösterdiği tespit edilmiştir (P<0.05). Aynı zamanda, yem
dönüşüm oranı yerleşim sıklığının düşüşüyle birlikte 3. haftaya kadar arttığı (P<0.05)
ancak, daha sonra bu etkinin ortadan kaybolduğu tespit edilmiştir (P>0.05). Gözlenen
ölüm oranının üzerinde çalışılan yerleşim sıklığı düzeyleri tarafından
etkilenmediği tespit edilmiş olup (P>0.05), bununla birlikte, düşük yerleşim
sıklıklarında Üretim İndeksi değerinin artış gösterdiği ancak, buna paralel
olarak birim alanda elde edilen toplam canlı ağırlığın da düşüş gösterdiği
bulunmuştur (P<0.05). Araştırma sonuçları genel olarak değerlendirildiğinde,
yerleşim sıklığındaki artışın birim alanda elde edilen toplam canlı ağırlık
değeri dışındaki saha performansıyla ilgili kriterleri olumlu yönde etkilediği
görülmüştür.

The Effects of Stocking Density on Growth Performance of Pekin Ducks

Abstract



The experiment was designed to investigate the
effects of actual stocking density on the growth performance parameters in
Pekin ducks. A total of 240 ducklings were used with stocking densities of 3, 5
and 7 poults m-2 d
uring the
42 day growing period. Live Weight, Live Weight Gain, Feed Consumption, Feed
Conversion Ratio, Mortality Rate and Productivity Index parameters were
investigated to determine growth performance. As the stocking density
decreases, LW values were found to be increasing visibly after 3 weeks of age
(P<0.05), Live Weight Gain and Total Live Weight values were found to be
increasing after first week (P<0.05). The achieved total live weight in unit
area increases parallel to increasing stocking density catching the peak at 7
ducklings m-2 stocking density (P<0.05). Stocking density was
found to be affecting Feed Conversion values and from first week of age, Feed
Conversion was found to be increasing by declining stocking density
(P<0.05). Therewithal, Feed Conversion Ratio was found to be increasing with
declining stocking density till the third week of age (P<0.05) but,
hereafter this effect was disappeared (P>0.05). Mortality occurred in the
trial was found not to be affected by Stocking Density (P>0.05), whereas by
declining Stocking Density, Productivity Index was found to be increasing
however in parallel Live Weight per unit area was also found to be decreasing
together (P<0.05). When a general revision is made from the research,
increasing Stocking Density has a positive effect on performance parameters of
Pekin ducks except Total Live Weight per unit area.
