Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: Obtaining quality animal products can be achieved by producing quality chicks. In this study, the relationships between chick length and egg weight, live weight and chick quality in day-old domestic goose chicks were discussed. 50 one-day old goose chicks were used in the study. Chick height measurement; It is an easy, fast, reproducible and harmless method. As a result of the study, a positive and significant relationship was found between chick length and egg weight, chick weight and chick quality. In other words, as egg weight, chick weight and chick quality increase, chick length also increases. Since the parameters used in chick quality assessment differ from person to person and are time consuming, it may be suggested that chick length should be taken as a criterion in the evaluation of chick quality in order for the study to be practical and the quality to be reproducible. In summary, it can be said that chick length can be an indicator for chick quality in geese.
