چکیده مقاله :

In this experiment 240 Hy-Line (W-36) laying hens from 65 to 75 weeks distributed in 5 treatments and 4 replicates (12 birds per replicate) in a completely randomized design were used. The amounts of watermelon skin meal (WSM) used to set the treatments were 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2% in 1 to 5 experimental groups. The results showed that using WSM up to 2% significantly improved the performance and egg traits of laying hens (P<0.05). The highest amounts of egg weight, egg mass and egg production percentage, the best feed conversion, the lowest feed price for production per kilogram of egg, the highest albumen quality percentage were observed by using 2% WSM. By using 2% WSM the eggshell and yolk weight significantly decreased (P<0.05). The overall results indicated that in laying hens, using watermelon skin meal up to 2% of diets, significantly improved their performance and reduced the production cost.

چکیده انگلیسی:

در این آزمایش تعداد 240 قطعه مرغ تخمگذار سویه های لاین W-36 از سن 65 تا 75 هفتگی در 5 تیمار، 4 تکرار (12 قطعه مرغ در هر تکرار) در قالب یک طرح کاملاً تصادفی مورد استفاده قرار گرفتند. مقدار پودر پوست هندوانه مورد استفاده صفر، 5/0، 1، 5/1 و 2 درصد در گروه‌های آزمایشی 1 تا 5 بود. نتایج آزمایش نشان داد که استفاده از پوست هندوانه تا سطح 2 درصد جیره به صورت معنی ‌‌داری عملکرد و صفات کیفی تخم ‌‌مرغ در مرغ‌های تخمگذار را بهبود می‌‌بخشد (05/0>P). بیشترین مقدار وزن تخم ‌‌مرغ، توده تخم مرغ‌های تولیدی، درصد تولید تخم ‌‌مرغ، بهترین ضریب تبدیل خوراک،‌ کمترین هزینه خوراک به ازای هر کیلوگرم تخم ‌مرغ تولیدی و درصد سفیده تخم ‌‌مرغ با استفاده از 2 درصد پودر پوست هنداونه مشاهده شد. استفاده از 2 درصد پودر پوست هندوانه موجب کاهش درصد پوسته و زرده تخم ‌‌مرغ شد. به طور کلی نتایج این آزمایش نشان داد که در مرغ‌های تخمگذار استفاده از پودر پوست هندوانه تا 2 درصد جیره به صورت معنی ‌‌داری عملکرد را بهبود داده و هزینه تولید را کاهش می‌‌دهد.
