Abstract

The aim of this work was to present the production results of laying hens kept in different housing systems - conventional cages with different stocking densities, enriched cages or in houses with a range. The used hybrid was Shaver 579 (564 birds). The main production parameters were monitored: No. of laid eggs, laying percentage, mortality rate, feed intake, egg weight and number of culled eggs. Data were analyzed by ANOVA followed by t-test. Main production parameters in production of table eggs were significantly different depending on the housing system. The best results were realized in cage system with lower housing density, and the worst results in hens housed in floor system on free range.Cilj ovog rada je da prikaze proizvodne rezultate kokosi nosilja konzumnih jaja u razlicitim sistemima drzanja - konvencionalni kavezi sa razlicitom gustinom naseljenosti, obogaceni kavez i drzanje na ispustu. Ispitivani hibrid bio je Shaver 579. Useljeno je ukupno 564 nosilje. Broj snesenih jaja, broj jaja II klase, mortaliet, utrosak hrane i konverzija su osnovni proizvodni parametri koji su korisceni za procenu uspeha proizvodnje. Na osnovu dobijenih podataka uradjena je statisticka obrada metodom analize varijanse i t-testa. Osnovni proizvodni parametri proizvodnje konzumnih jaja znacajno su se razlikovali u zavisnosti od sistema drzanja. Najbolji rezultati ostvareni su u baterijskim kavezima sa manjom gustinom naseljenosti, dok su najlosiji rezultati ostvareni kod kokosi koje su drzane u podnom sistemu sa ispustom.
