poultry cage systems, were studied. For this purpose, in a poultry farm
have been monitored for 20-56 week period two batches of birds housed
in two different caging systems: control group was housed in a
conventional battery cages and experimental group in enriched cages.
Chickens in two herds were hybrid Hy-Line W 98, the same age and it
was used the same amount and structure of the ration. They were
recorded continuously egg production, egg weight, mortality, food
consumption and food was estimated FCR (Feed Conversion Rate). At
the end of the study it was showed that the use of different cage system
showed no impact on production performance of eggs and egg weight.
Layers reared in conventional cages manifested a higher egg laying
than the experiment and that the standard of the hybrid. As a result of
greater density than the rate allowed in the two groups mortality was
observed higher than the standard (the control group 3,04% more and the experiment group 4.78% more). The control group has saved 2,48g
more feed for egg, or 2% compared with that of the experiment. There
were no significant differences (P?0.05) between the groups regarding
the feed utilization. In both groups have achieved good results in the
performance indicators. It leaves much to be desired but the use of feed
for eggs, egg mass per kg, or as kg eggs are obtained from 1 kg of feed
utilization compared to standard hybrid. This will certainly lead to
increased cost of egg produced. | | Keywords : | | | Conventional cages, layer, furnished cages, performance |
