Description

Blood meal as an animal feed supplement promotes agricultural sustainability. Blood meal which is high in proteins, lacks certain nutrients hence is expected to give impact on the chicken behaviour and welfare. This study was carried out to determine the impact of blood meal supplement on chicken behaviour. The study involved 100 chickens which were bred in semi-opened poultry house for 6 weeks. At 6th week, chickens provided with fish meal (FM) only had a higher body weight compared to that of the group provided with FM and blood meal supplement (FBM). Normal behaviour such as walking, standing, feeding, drinking, dust bathing and lying down were not significantly affected by the changes in the meal (p>0.05). However, based on a single assessor assessment, FBM group displayed higher score in explore and escape characteristics, than the FM group. On the other hand, FM group displayed a slightly higher score for fear behaviour than the FBM. Findings in this study leads to the conclusion that blood meal supplement has influence on the welfare in chickens farming in terms of their exploration, fear, and escape behaviours. Therefore, amount of blood meal as animal feed supplement in poultry production should be determined carefully to avoid any potential detrimental effect on poultry welfare

تعزز وجبة الدم كمكمل غذائي حيواني الاستدامة الزراعية. تفتقر وجبة الدم الغنية بالبروتينات إلى بعض العناصر الغذائية، وبالتالي من المتوقع أن تؤثر على سلوك الدجاج ورفاهيته. أجريت هذه الدراسة لتحديد تأثير مكملات وجبة الدم على سلوك الدجاج. شملت الدراسة 100 دجاجة تم تربيتها في بيت دواجن شبه مفتوح لمدة 6 أسابيع. في الأسبوع السادس، كان وزن الدجاج المقدم مع وجبة السمك (FM) أعلى من وزن المجموعة المقدمة مع FM ومكمل وجبة الدم (FBM). لم يتأثر السلوك الطبيعي مثل المشي والوقوف والتغذية والشرب وغسل الغبار والاستلقاء بشكل كبير بالتغيرات في الوجبة (p>0.05). ومع ذلك، استنادًا إلى تقييم مقيم واحد، أظهرت مجموعة FBM درجة أعلى في خصائص الاستكشاف والهروب، من مجموعة FM. من ناحية أخرى، أظهرت مجموعة FM درجة أعلى قليلاً لسلوك الخوف من FBM. تؤدي النتائج التي توصلت إليها هذه الدراسة إلى استنتاج مفاده أن مكملات وجبة الدم لها تأثير على الرفاهية في تربية الدجاج من حيث سلوكيات الاستكشاف والخوف والهروب. لذلك، يجب تحديد كمية وجبة الدم كمكمل غذائي للحيوانات في إنتاج الدواجن بعناية لتجنب أي تأثير ضار محتمل على رفاهية الدواجن

Blood meal which is high in proteins, lacks certains nutriments hence is expected to give impact on the chicken behaviour and welfare. Cette étude a permis de déterminer l'impact du supplément de repas sanguin sur le comportement du poulet. The study involved 100 chickens which were bred in semi-opened poultry house for 6 weeks. À la 6ème semaine, les poussins fournis avec de la farine de poisson (FM) n'avaient qu'un poids corporel plus élevé que celui du groupe fourni avec la FM et le supplément de farine de sang (FBM). Normal behaviour such as walking, standing, feeding, drinking, dust bathing and lying down were not significativement affected by the changes in the meal (p>0.05). However, based on a single assessor assessment, FBM group displayed higher score in explore and escape characteristics, than the FM group. On the other hand, FM group displayed a slightly higher score for fear behaviour than the FBM.
