Free systems of rearing of chickens and layer hens: Quality of meat and eggs

Abstract

Conventional broiler and egg production are basis of modern production of poultry meat and table eggs in the World and in our country. Standing requirements and demands for more and better in poultry production have induced continuous work on improvement of technologies of broiler rearing and production of table eggs. Improvements in technologies of production of meat and eggs depend on country's natural resources, environment conditions and, certainly, on consumer opinion and demands. In addition to the quantity of products, considerable attention will be focused on poultry welfare, application of new rearing systems and, accordingly, on quality of the product. Positive effects of the free system of rearing of broilers and layer hens on quality of meat and eggs, which have been established in our many years of research, will be presented in this paper.

Konvencionalna brojlerska proizvodnja i proizvodnja jaja je osnova današnje proizvodnje pilećeg mesa i konzumnih jaja u svetu i u našoj zemlji. Stalni zahtevi u živinarskoj proizvodnji za bolje i više doveli su do toga da se kontinuirano radi na poboljšanju tehnologija gajenja brojlera i proizvodnje konzumnih jaja. Poboljšanja u tehnologijama proizvodnje mesa i jaja zavise od prirodnih resursa određene zemlje, ambijetalnih uslova i svakako mišljenja i zahteva potrošača. Pored količine proizvoda značajna pažnja će se pridavati dobrobiti živine, primeni novih sistema gajenja i shodno tome kvalitetu proizvoda. U radu će biti prikazani pozitivni uticaji slobodnog sistema gajenja brojlera i kokoši nosilja na kvalitet mesa i jaja, koje smo ustanovili u našem dugogodišnjem radu.
