Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of transport duration and access to feed and water during the transportation of broiler chicks on growth performance, yolk sac weight, development of intestine and immune organs, and carcass yields of broilers.

Material and methods: A total of 256 Cobb broiler chicks were obtained from a commercial hatchery. Depending on the treatment, chicks were divided into 4 groups and subjected to either 1.5 h (DS) or 6.0 h (DL) transportation with (AFW) or without access to feed and water (NFW) during the transportation. Chicks from each subgroup were assigned to 4 floor pens (16 pens in total) and reared until 42 d.

Results: Our results confirmed that AFW improved body weight, breast fillet, food consumption, yolk sac weight at day 2, and development of immune and intestinal at day 42, (7 d) as compared with the NFW. Our study also indicated that DL group attempted to compensate their growth retardation by increasing their feed intake during the first week of their lives as compared to DS group. However, DL group broilers did not catch up with the broilers from DS group at slaughter age and had worse FCR.

Conclusion: This study shows that there is a positive effect on broiler performance by providing feed and water during the transportation.

Günlük yaştaki etlik civcivlerde taşıma süresi ve taşıma sırasında yem ve suya ulaşımın gelişme performansı ve organ gelişimine etkileri

Öz

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı bir günlük etlik civcivlerde taşıma süresi ve taşıma sırasında yem ve su verilmesinin büyüme performansı, sarı kese ağırlığı, sindirim ve bağışıklık organlarının gelişmesi ve karkas verimine etkisini belirlemektir.

Materyal ve Metot: Ticari bir kuluçkahaneden 256 adet Cobb etlik civciv temin edilmiştir. Civcivler rasgele 4 gruba ayrılmış ve 1.5 saat (DS) veya 6.0 saat (DL) boyunca yem ve su sağlanmış (AFW) ya da sağlanmamış (NFW) olarak taşımaya maruz bırakılmışlardır. Taşımadan sonra her grup 4 adet yer bölmesine yerleştirilmiş (toplam 16 bölme) ve 42. güne kadar büyütülmüştür.

Bulgular: Sonuçlar AFW uygulamasının NFW’e kıyasla 42. gün canlı ağırlığı iyileştirdiğini, göğüs eti, yem tüketimi ve 2. gün sarı kese ağırlığını artırdığını, erken yaşta (7 gün) bağışıklık ve sindirim organlarının gelişimini iyileştirdiğini göstermiştir. Çalışma aynı zamanda DL uygulamasının DS’e göre çıkış günü canlı ağırlığı düşürdüğünü ve DL grubunun DS’e kıyasla ilk hafta yem tüketimini artırarak telafi edici büyüme çabası içinde olduğuna işaret etmektedir. Ancak, DL grubu kesim yaşında DS grubunun canlı ağırlığına ulaşamamış ve daha kötü FCR elde edilmiştir.

Sonuç: Çalışma,taşıma süresinden bağımsız olarak günlük civcivlere taşıma sırasında yem ve su sağlanmasının etlik piliç performansını olumlu etkilediğini göstermiştir.
