First and Second Cycle Egg Production Relationships
ثبت نشده
چکیده
A study of 1231 first cycle and 887 second cycle table egg flocks (by Bell and Adams) in the early 1980’s in California revealed a series of very important relationships. These relationships are essential to the decision of whether or not flocks should be molted and if so, when? If molting is to pay, the second cycle of production must yield high performance compared to a one cycle option. The closer the two cycles of performance, the greater the justification for molting.

Data of four layers flocks (#31-34) from North Carolina Layer Performance and Management Test of the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services were used in the meta-analysis to find if an increase in space allowance can affect egg production traits in white and brown layers. Effects of space allowance of 310 and 413 cm2/bird on layers performance were compared in this study. The increase ...

This study was conducted to determine the effect of hen production cycle (HPC) and the effect of egg weight (EW) at the same egg production level on egg quality, egg composition, hatchability, duckling quality, and first-week BW in Pekin ducks. For HPC, hatching eggs were obtained from different Pekin-duck breeder flocks, aged 31 wk for the first production cycle (HPC1) and 78 wk for the second...

High attraction is reported for yellow sticky traps to capture pistachio psylla. In pest management, it is important to forecast from the adult population density the density of other developmental stages in order to gain an estimate of the density in damaging stages. In 1998 and 1999, yellow sticky boards with 10150.15 cm were installed in two pistachio orchards in Borkhar district of Isfaha...
