ABSTRACT

El objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar el efecto del peso corporal sobre indicadores bioproductivos en gallinas White Leghorn L33. Se estudiaron 192 gallinas ponedoras con 39 semanas de edad durante un período de seis semanas y con tres observaciones semanales. Se diseñaron dos grupos según peso vivo, con 96 gallinas cada uno (tres réplicas de 32 aves), teniendo el grupo 1 entre 1500-1600 g y el grupo 2 entre 1735-1820 g; este último correspondió al rango establecido para este híbrido con esa edad. Además de la viabilidad y mortalidad se determinaron las variables bioproductivas (producción, peso, tamaño, forma y grosor de la cáscara de los huevos), así como la proporción de sucios, manchados y cascados. En la última semana del estudio, se analizó la calidad interna del huevo (dimensión y color de clara y yema) y se calcularon los índices de yema, clara y Unidades Haugh. Se realizó una estadística descriptiva y se utilizaron las pruebas T de Student y Fisher (P < 0,05) para comparar las medias entre grupos. Se evidenciaron diferencias estadísticas significativas entre producción, peso y tamaño de los huevos para el grupo de mayor peso corporal. Asimismo, se comprobó mayor calidad interna del huevo (altura de clara y yema) en este segundo grupo. Sin embargo, no se evidenciaron diferencias significativas en la calidad externa de los huevos (sucios, manchados, cascados), pero sí en el grosor de la cáscara. Se concluye que el peso corporal influye directa y positivamente sobre los indicadores bioproductivos en gallinas White Leghorn L33.


The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the corporal weight on bioproductive indicators in White Leghorn L33 hens. They were studied 192 egg-laying hens with 39 weeks of age during a period of six weeks and with a frequency of three weekly observations. Two groups according to the alive weight with 96 hens each one (three replies of 32 birds) were designed, having the group 1 (1500-1600 g) and group 2 (17351820 g), and being this last group the established range for this crossbreed with that age. Besides of viability and mortality bioproductive variables (production, weight, size, form and nutshell thickness of the eggs) were determined, as well as the proportion of dirty, stained and cracked eggs. In the last week of study the internal quality (dimension and color of egg white and yolk) was analyzed and the yolk and white index and Haugh Units were calculated. Descriptive statistics was realized and the Student's t and Fisher tests (P < 0.05) were used to compare means between groups. Significant statistical differences among production, weight, and size of eggs for group of bigger corporal weight were evidenced. Likewise, bigger internal quality of the egg (height of the egg white and yolk) in this second group was demonstrated. However, significant differences in the external quality of the eggs (dirty, stained and cracked) were not evidenced, unlike in the nutshell thickness. It is concluded that corporal weight influences direct and positively on bioproductive indicators in White Leghorn L33 hens.
