O efeito do peso vivo às 17 semanas de idade de galinhas poedeiras nos parâmetros produtivos e de qualidade do ovo durante a fase de postura

Abstract

O presente estudo foi realizado na empresa Zêzerovo - Produção Agrícola e Avícola do Zêzere, SA com o objetivo de avaliar o efeito do peso vivo de galinhas poedeiras de 17 semanas de idade nos parâmetros produtivos e de qualidade do ovo durante a fase de postura. Trezentas e sessenta galinhas com 17 semanas de idade foram agrupadas consoante o seu peso em Leves (≤1500g), Médias (1500g-1600g) e Pesadas (>1600g) tendo sido analisados os seguintes parâmetros: peso vivo, taxa de postura, peso médio do ovo, massa de ovo, ingestão de alimento e índice de conversão. No que respeita à qualidade do ovo, foi analisada a espessura da casca, altura da câmara de ar, Unidades Haugh, pH de albúmen e de ovo inteiro, cor da gema, presença de rachas, manchas de carne, manchas de sangue e ainda foram realizadas análises microbiológicas. Pelos resultados obtidos, relativamente aos parâmetros produtivos, verificou-se que as galinhas mais pesadas apresentaram uma taxa de postura, no início da postura, mais elevada do que os restantes grupos e que apresentam maior percentagem de ovos L e XL face ao grupo constituído pelas galinhas mais leves. No que respeita à qualidade do ovo, não foram verificadas diferenças significativas entre grupos com exceção da maior percentagem de ovos com manchas de carne provenientes das galinhas do grupo Pesadas.

ABSTRACT - The effect of body weight of laying hens at 17 weeks of age on their productive performance and egg quality during the laying phase - The current study was conducted at Zêzerovo – Produção Agrícola e Avícola do Zêzere, SA and the goal was to evaluate the effect of body weight of laying hens at 17 weeks of age on their productive performance and egg quality. For this purpose, 360 laying hens were grouped according to their body weight. Birds were classified as light, medium or heavy at 17 weeks of age (≤1500g, 1501-1600g and >1600g respectively) and the following parameters were analyzed: body weight, egg production rate, egg weight, egg mass, feed intake and feed efficiency. In order to evaluate egg quality, eggs were analyzed for shell thickness, air cell height, Haugh units, albumen and whole egg pH, yolk colour, shell cracks, meat spots and blood spots. Microbiological analysis were also performed. The results demonstrated that the heavier group of hens had a higher egg production rate at the beginning of the laying phase and that this group had a higher percentage of large and extra large eggs compared to the lightest group. Regarding egg quality, the results demonstrated that the heavier hens had the highest percentage of eggs with meat spots.
