An economic analysis of commercial egg productionSage, William Paul January 1964 (has links)
This study employed actual farm data to obtain estimates of the input-output relationships that might prove useful in farm management plans by commercial egg producers and those interested in the poultry industry.
The study was in two phases. Egg production functions were estimated for flocks with particular combinations of management practices and equipment. Analysis of variance was used to determine the particular combinations of building, equipment, and management practices. Least squares regression analysis was used to estimate production functions with eggs produced per hen as a function of feed. Birds in cage and floor housing had different production functions. Also, different types of birds under various frequencies of culling had different functions. However, the relationship a type of bird had to other types was not consistent when different frequencies of culling were compared.
The labor to perform specific chorea was estimated using time per 100 birds as a function of flock size when particular combinations of equipment were used in performing the chores. These functional estimates were unusable because of the low coefficients of multiple determination. However, the average time was used to make an economic analysis of the labor saved by using various combinations of equipment.
When various price combinations for feed and eggs were used, the additional eggs produced by cage housed layers justified cages with only one price combination. All other price combinations showed labor and/or capital with a value greater than the additional eggs were saved by using mechanical equipment in floor housing. / Master of Science

Effects of dietary calcium, phytoestrogen rich diets and estrogen on intestinal calcium transport proteins, egg and eggshell quality in maturing layer hens /cAli Asghar SakiSaki, Ali Asghar. January 1998 (has links) (PDF)
Corrigenda inserted behind title page. Copies of author's previously published articles inserted. Bibliography: leaves 193-210. This study investigated whether estrogen could modulate the proteins associated with calcium transport (eg calcium binding protein, calbindin D28k) in the intestinal tissue during sexual maturation of laying hens. The first study investigated the temporal and spatial expression of estrogen receptors (ER) and calcium binding protein in jejunal tissue. Findings indicated the potential of estrogen to induce calbindin D28K in the intestinal tissue, from which it can be concluded that estrogen may increase calcium absorption and consequently calcium retention. It was shown that the amount of estrogen normally present in the reproductive system is sufficient for the normal capacity of egg and eggshell production. Egg production and shell quality were significantly reduced by phytoestrogen. It is recommended that the concentration of phytoestrogen in poultry diets be investigated in more detail as it may act as an anti-nutritive factor and affect metabolism and productivity.

O trabalho foi conduzido na UNESP - FMVZ - no setor de avicultura, Câmpus de Botucatu. As aves foram alojadas em gaiolas com dois compartimentos internos, com quatro aves por compartimento, totalizando oito aves por gaiola. Foram utilizadas 512 poedeiras comerciais da linhagem Shaver. Durante o período de muda, as aves do tratamento testemunha receberam ração de produção à vontade; no tratamento jejum as que tiveram sua alimentação retirada por um período de 14 dias e em seguida recebeu somente milho moído pelo período de 14 dias; no tratamento milho foi fornecido milho moído à vontade durante 28 dias; no tratamento trigo foi fornecido farelo de trigo à vontade durante 28 dias; nos tratamentos trigo 50g e trigo 65g as aves receberam somente 50 e 65g de farelo de trigo, respectivamente, por 28 dias e nos tratamentos muda 50g e muda 65g foi fornecida ração de muda com 1,0% de cálcio e 0,42% de fósforo disponível nas seguintes quantidades de 50 e 65g por ave/dia, respectivamente, por 28 dias. Durante este período de muda as aves permaneceram com fotoperíodo natural. Após o término da muda as aves receberam ração de produção e água à vontade e teve início o programa de luz com 14 horas de luz por dia e aumentos semanais de 30 minutos até que se alcançou fotoperíodo de 17 horas de luz por dia. No decorrer do período da muda, foram sacrificadas 120 aves em cinco abates, sendo oito abatidas no início e mais quatro por tratamento, abatidas aos 7, 14, 21 e 28 dias de muda para avaliação do cálcio e fósforo na tíbia e no sangue, perda de peso corporal e dos órgãos (fígado, ovário, oviduto), gordura abdominal e extrato etéreo; também foi avaliado o consumo de ração... / The objective of this study was to evaluate effects of fasting, corn, wheat meal and commercial molt diet in forced molt process from seventy-three weeks old commercial laying hens. The experiment was conducted at Poultry Farm from Faculdade de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, UNESP - Botucatu Campus. Hens were housed in cages with two compartments to four birds each, representing an experimental unit with 8 birds. Five hundred-twelve Shaver hens were used. During molt period birds from treatment 1 (control) received production diet ad libitum, in treatment 2 (conventional - fasting) birds had feed removed for fourteen days and received only ground corn for the following fourteen days. During 28 days, birds from treatment 3 and 4 were fed with ground corn and wheat meal, respectively, ad libitum. Only 50 and 65 g of wheat meal were given to birds from treatments 5 and 6, respectively, during 28 days. The same amount was supplied to birds from treatments 7 and 8, respectively, but from commercial molt diet with 1% of calcium and 0.42% of available phosphorus, during 28 days. During molt period hens were kept with natural photoperiod. At the end of the molt period the hens were fed with water and production diet ad libitum and the lighting program started with fourteen hours of daylight, increasing 30 minutes weekly until reach seventeen hours of daylight to the hens. During molt experiment one hundred-twenty birds were slaughtered in five slaughtering, being eight slaughtered at the beginning of the experiment and four per treatment were slaughtered at 7, 14, 21 and 28 days of molt to analyze calcium and phosphorus in Tibia and blood, loss of body and organs weight (liver, ovarium and oviduct), abdominal fat and ether extract. Feed intake was also evaluated. It was verified that wheat meal can be used in forced molt process without compromise the parameters analyzed and with...
