Öğe Breeding Performance of a Captive Chukar Partridge (Alectoris chukar) Flock(MEDWELL ONLINE, 2009) Yilmaz, Alper; Tepeli, CaferIn this study, chukar partridges (Alectoris chukar) were caught from mountains located in Ermenek province of Konya. The partridges, 4 males and 12 females, were placed in an indoor enclosure that was 15 m(2). The enclosure was designed to contain different types of substrate, rocks and bushes to resemble the natural habitat of the species. The birds were exposed to 16 h of light, 8 h of darkness. In the breeding season, a total of 150 hatching eggs were gathered and 125 chicks were ultimately hatched and reared. These chicks were put into 20 breeding cages that were 0.65x0.40x0.48 m WidthxDepthxHigh (WxDxH). One male and 3 females were placed in each cage. The daily light period was increased from initially 12 h light and 12 h darkness to 16 h light and 8 h darkness. Egg production, overall fertility, overall hatchability and hatchability of the fertile eggs were measured over 2 years as 39 eggs female(-1), 68.22, 61.97, 89.95%, respectively in year one and 28.54 eggs female(-1), 68.84, 57.83 and 83.43%, respectively in 2 years. As a result of the study, it is clear that chukar partridge can be raised under intensive captive conditions when some management techniques are provided. Therefore, ecological balance can be recreated for chukar partridge population in natural habitat by way of rearing and releasing of chukar partridges.Öğe Determination of live weights and body measurements of Kangal type Akkaraman sheep in producers conditions(WFL PUBL, 2011) Yilmaz, Alper; Tepeli, Cafer; Tekin, Mehmet Emin; Akmaz, Ali; Garip, Mustafa; Polat, Esad Sami; Coskun, BehicThis study was carried out to determine live weights and body measurements of Kangal type Akkaraman sheep reared by producers. The data obtained from 240 ewes and 54 rams for live weight (LW) and 12 body measurements were used. The study was conducted on 35 flocks in Kangal district of Sivas. Average live weight (LW) was 66.4 kg, shoulder height (SH) 75.9 cm, rump height (RH) 75.8 cm, body length (BL) 65.7 cm, rump width (RW) 20.4 cm, chest depth (CD) 35.0 cm, chest width (CW) 22.7 cm, chest girth (CG) 98.8 cm, head length (HL) 24.1 cm, ear length (EL) 17.6 cm, ear width (EW) 10.0 cm, front cannon bone circumference (FCBC) 9.5 cm and tail-tarsal joint distance (TTJD) 10.9 cm for ewes. The average live weight (LW) of rams was 102 kg and the body measurements of rams were higher than that of ewes with the exception of the ear length (EL) and the tail-tarsal joint distance (TTJD). The LW differences among different ages were significant both in rams and ewes. However, with exception of BL and RW, there were no significant differences in body measurements of rams in terms of ages. The phenotypic correlations between LW and body measurements were positive and significant in all traits except in TTJD. The highest phenotypic correlation (0.898) was between LW and CG As a result, when LW and body measurements of ewes and rams were evaluated in the study, it can be said that Kangal type Akkaraman sheep was the large sheep breed compared with native sheep breeds in Turkey.Öğe Effects of pre-incubation storage time and position on some hatching results of the rock partridge (alectoris graeca) eggs(KAFKAS UNIV, VETERINER FAKULTESI DERGISI, 2009) Yilmaz, Alper; Tepeli, CaferThe effects of pre-incubation storage time and position on some hatching results of the rock partridge (Alectoris graeca) eggs were investigated. In total, 2420 partridge eggs were used in the study. All eggs were stored in storage rooms with 12.8 degrees C temperature and 70-75% relative humidity. The pre-incubation egg storage periods were 1-7, 8-14, 15-21 and 22-28 days. Each storage group was divided into three eggs position groups which were 45 angle tilt twice daily, not turning egg (-) and turning egg (+) daily according to egg position. As a result, hatch of fertile eggs of 8-14 days and turning egg (+) groups were better than the results of other groups.Öğe External and internal egg quality characteristics in Japanese quails of different plumage color lines(WFL PUBL, 2011) Yilmaz, Alper; Tepeli, Cafer; Caglayan, TamerThe present study was conducted to determine the external and internal egg quality characteristics in Japanese quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) of different plumage color lines. A total of 150 eggs obtained from Japanese quails of different plumage color lines at 20 weeks of age were used in the study. The eggs were randomly gathered from same age quails with brown, gray and white plumages. The eggs were examined for external and internal quality characteristics. Concerning the external quality characteristics, there were statistical differences regarding shape index (%) and shell ratio (%) among the different plumage color lines (P<0.01, P<0.05). Of the internal quality characteristics, the differences among plumage color lines in yolk weight(g), albumen weight (g), yolk ratio (%), albumen ratio (%), yolk/albumen ratio (%), albumen index (%) and haugh units were statistically significant (P<0.01). It was also found that there were statistically significant phenotypic correlations with respect to some egg quality traits in the different plumage color lines. According to the findings of the study, the fact that the haugh unit observed in the quail group with brown plumage was higher compared to the other plumage color lines brings into mind the idea that it could be more convenient to offer the eggs in the brown group for consumption as human food. In addition, knowing the significant differences among the different plumage color lines in different quality characteristics will be useful in assisting prospective studies on quail lines.Öğe New Media, New Researches(IGIAD-TURKISH ENTREPRENEURSHIP & BUSINESS ETHICS ASSOC, 2015) Yilmaz, Alper[Abstract not Available]
