Item Comparison of growth curve in male layer chickens(Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2020-12-24) Gunawan, Andrean Amar; Putra, Widya Pintaka Bayu; Riaz, Roshan; Orman, Abdülkadir; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Ziraat Fakültesi/Hayvan Bilimleri Bölümü.; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Veteriner Fakültesi/Hayvan Bilimleri Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0002-1102-6447; 0000-0002-0524-9994; 0000-0001-9138-4422This study was aimed to obtain the growth curve of body weight in male layer chickens (Lohman MB 202) based on Logistic and Gompertz models. The frequently data of body weight from one day age to adult age were used for growth curve prediction. Total of one thousand birds from private sector poultry farm in Tasikmalaya Regency, Indonesia were used in this study as the data source. The growth curve estimation was calculated based on Logistic (L) and Gompertz (G) models using Curve Expert 1.4. computer program. The final weight (asymptote) in birds was reached of 1111.27 g (L) and 1685.13 g (G). Therefore, the weight of inflection (Wi) of birds were reached of 555.64 g (L) and 619.53 g (G). The time of inflection (ti) and maximum growth rate (GR) of birds in both models were 6 weeks and 19 g/week respectively. In conclusion, both models had similar coefficient of determination (R2) value. However, the growth curve of Gompertz model was confirmed as better growth curve for body weight of birds than that of Logistic model due to lower of root mean square error (RMSE) value.Item Effect of ambient temperature on death rate, reject rate, dressing percentage, and economic loss in broilers during transport to slaughterhouse(Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2021-05-12) Çavuşoğlu, Enver; Riaz, Roshan; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Veteriner Fakültesi/Hayvan Bilimleri Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0002-9018-3511; 0000-0002-0524-9994The process of transporting broilers from the farm to the slaughterhouse is critical for animal welfare and for the production economy. During the transport process, the animal may suffer and die and this situation negatively affects animal welfare and profitability. The present study aimed to assess the impact of ambient temperature on the death rate, reject rate, and total economic loss in broilers during transportations in Turkey. The data of a total of 1,015,336 broilers transported for a two-year period were collected from a commercial abattoir. The average ambient temperature of the exact days of consignments was divided into three subgroups: Temperature (T), T1 (10.0-14.0 °C), T2 (14.1-19.0 °C), T3 (19.1-24.0 °C). The average death rates were 1.890%, 1.393%, 0.326%, and reject rates were 1.151%, 1.611%, and 1.441% found for T1, T2, and T3, respectively. Analysis of data showed the significant (p<0.001) effect of the ambient temperature on the death rate, and the higher impact was observed for T1 and lower for the T3. The reject rate among all groups was statistically significant (p=0.044), and the highest reject rate was found in T2 while the lowest reject rate was found in T1. The net economic loss due to rejected birds and death were 35,403 US$ and 30,692 US$, respectively, while the total economic loss was 66,095 US$. In conclusion, the results of the present study showed that death rate, reject rates, and dressing percentage are impacted by the ambient temperature. Furthermore, death rates, rejection rates, and potential economic losses of the birds are linked with transportation from farm to the processing plant, and there is a need for management strategies to be refined through research by assessing the on-farm to processing plant risk factors, their linkages, as well as their potential contributions in Turkish integrated broiler production system.Item Effect of maternal parity on offspring's milk and reproductive performance, disease incidence of calf period, and longevity in Holstein cows(Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2021-09-17) Riaz, Roshan; Orman, Abdülkadir; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Sağlık Bilimleri Enstitüsü/Zootekni Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0002-0524-9994Present information on the maternal parity influences on reproductive and milk production parameters is ambiguous and less information is available on maternal parity effects on the calf duration disease incidence and longevity. The present study aimed to investigate the influence of parity on the calf duration diseases incidence, milk yield and reproductive parameters, and longevity of offspring in Holstein dairy cows. Data were retrieved from a commercial dairy farm present at Karacabey-Bursa state in Turkey. All the data was organized and subjected to statistical analysis, and correlations were established between all first lactation production parameters (peak yield, days to peak yield, 100-d yield, and 305-d yield), reproduction (age at first insemination, number of inseminations), and longevity of the dams and their heifers. In all parity calves, the incidence of calf duration diseases averaged 16.8%, and the rate reduced as mother parity increased (p<0.01). Age at first insemination, number of inseminations gestation length as a heifer, and peak milk yield, time to peak yield, 100-d milk yield, 305-d milk yield during the first lactation of all parity heifers averaged 481-d, 1.67, 274-d, 46.06 L, 67.50-d, 3611.93 L and 9588.47 L respectively. Non-significant (p>0.05) effect of the parity was found on all these heifer’s reproduction and first lactation milk production parameters. A non-significant correlation established for reproduction and milk production studied parameters of the dams and heifers. Longevity averaged 32.43, 27.93, and 26.57 months for first, second and third parity dams offspring respectively, but results remained non-significant (p>0.05) for all parity. Non-significant (p>0.05) correlation was found between maternal longevity and the longevity of offspring. Among culling reasons investigated, reproductive diseases were the primary culling reason (28.9%), followed by low production (8.4%), mastitis and udder problems (4.8%), foot problems (6.0%), and abomasum displacement (3.6%), and we found a significant (p<0.01) positive correlation between culling reasons of dams and heifers. It can be concluded that maternal parity influences the calf duration health diseases, longevity, and extra care should be paid to the first two parity calves, but for better reproductive and production performance during the first lactation, higher emphasis on growth and breeding decisions is suggestive.Item Effect of the parity and the production year on the longevity of the kids in saneen dairy goats(Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2021-01-22) Çavuşoğlu, Enver; Riaz, Roshan; Omar, Mohamed Yusuf; Demir, Mehmet; Orman, Abdülkadir; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Veteriner Fakültesi/Hayvan Bilimleri Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0002-9018-3511; 0000-0002-0524-9994; 0000-0002-5481-729X; 0000-0002-9279-3911; 0000-0001-9138-4422The basic objective of the dairy goat farmers is to produce healthy and fertile animals at appropriate age, with maximum genetic expression and long productive duration. Longevity is an important economical parameter in the breeding program of the dairy goats. There are various factors which directly influence the production and longevity of the newborns such as age at birth, season, herds flock and breed. The present study aimed to study the effect of the parity and the production year on the kids’ longevity in Saanen dairy goats. The 5 year data (2012 to 2016) of total 222 Saanen female goats collected from the Research and Applied Center at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Bursa Uludag University. The effect of parity on the kids’ longevity was found non-significant (P>0.05). Non-significant (P>0.05) difference was observed while comparing the data of kids from primiparous and multiparous within the production year. However, a significant (P<0.05) difference among the mean values was found while making comparison between the production years. The litter size in the present study ranged from 1.57 to 1.75 and non-significant (P>0.05) difference was found in the kids born over the evaluated years. The present study did not investigate the voluntary and involuntary culling reasons and the management practices at the farm are more standardized than a normal commercial farm. Hence, further research is required at the commercial farms having large number of the animals and herds in order to use the parity and longevity in the present genetic evaluation programs.Publication Exposure of broiler chickens to chronic heat stress increases the severity of white striping on the pectoralis major muscle(Springer, 2021-09-30) Aslam, Muhammad Adnan; İpek, Emrah; Riaz, Roshan; Özsoy, Şule Yurdagül; Shahzad, Waseem; Güleş, Özay; Riaz, Roshan; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Veteriner Fakültesi/Zootekni Bölümü.; HZK-6757-2023A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of cyclic or chronic heat stress (HS) on the incidence and severity of white striping (WS) and histopathological changes in breast muscle of broiler chickens. One hundred eighty 1-day-old male chickens were randomly assigned to three research groups: control (standard temperature throughout the experiment), cyclic HS (32 degrees C between 0800 and 2000 h from day 21 until the end of the experiment), and chronic HS (32 degrees C from day 21 onwards). Cyclic and chronic HS groups showed a significant (P < 0.05) decrease in body weight gain and feed intake and poor feed conversion ratio in grower, finisher, and overall period. Serum biochemical profile was not different among the groups except globulin and P which were significantly higher (P < 0.05 and P < 0.001, respectively), in cyclic and chronic HS groups. Overall, WS incidence was numerically higher in control birds followed by chronic HS and cyclic HS birds, respectively. The chronic HS group had a lower incidence of mild (score 1) and a higher incidence of severe (score 2) WS lesions compared to control and cyclic HS groups. Histopathological analysis revealed that broilers subjected to chronic HS showed increased severity of myodegenerative changes, perivenular CD3 + cell infiltration, and lipidosis compared to control group. However, control and cyclic HS groups were not different in terms of histopathological lesions. In conclusion, this study confirms that cyclic or chronic HS may adversely affect the growth performance and that chronic HS may increase the severity of WS in broiler chickens.
