Özet
The effects of different light periods on egg production characteristics and hatching traits of pheasants (Phasianus colchicus) were studied. The daily light period was increased from initially I I hr light (L): 13 hr darkness (D) to 16 hr L: 8 hr D in group 1. Birds were exposed to 16 hr L: 8 hr D and 8 hr L: 8 hr D: 8 hr L periods in groups 2 and 3 respectively. Following the onset of stimulatory light, the first egg was obtained within 23, 23 and 22 days in groups 1, 2 and 3 respectively. Egg production periods of pheasants were determined as 138, 138 and 136 days in groups 1, 2 and 3. Egg yields of pheasants in groups were 40.28, 56.57 and 67.68 egg/pheasant respectively. Average values of hatchability, fertility and hatch of fertile eggs were 39.48,48.40 and 54.09% (P < 0.05); 62.17,68.15 and 70.47% (P < 0.05); 63.50, 71.01 and 76.76% (P < 0.05) in groups 1, 2 and 3 respectively.
