description | <b>Aim: </b>This study was carried out to examine growth characteristics
of calves (from birth to 12<sup>th</sup> month) of Anatolian Black and Brown
Swiss Cattles reared in different types of extensive rearing, Şile Region.<p>
<b>Materials and Methods:</b> This study was carried out in 29 Brown
Swiss and 71 Anatolian Black between 2011 and 2013 years. Calves
were grouped four different extensive rearing types. These were
Continuous Pasture Brown Swiss (CPBS), Continuous Pasture Anatolian
Black (CPAB), Returned to Housing in Evening Time Anatolian
Black (RHETAB) and Returned to Housing in Evening Time Anatolian
Black with Additional Feeding (RHETAB with AF), respectively.
For determining growth characteristics in calves, data related to live
weight, chest girth, body length and shoulder height were taken at
birth, in 3<sup>rd</sup> month, in 6<sup>th</sup> month and in 12<sup>th</sup> month, respectively.<p>
<b>Results:</b> According to rearing types birth weights of the calves were
26,07±0,67 kg, 21,24±0,75 kg, 20,64±0,80 kg and 22,12±0,79 kg respectively.
There was a statistically difference with respect to birth
weight in favor of group one at birth (P<0,01). In 12<sup>th</sup> month live weight
of the calves were 185,20±5,28 kg, 147,75±5,89 kg, 133,30±6,30
kg and 173,19±6,23 kg in rearing groups respectively. The difference
with respect to live weight disappeared between calves of Brown
Swiss and Anatolian Black with additional feeding groups (P>0,05).<p>
<b>Conclusion: </b>In Şile Region, Brown Swiss may be preferred against
Anatolian Black to obtain more meat production in extensive cattle
breeding. During periods of poor pasture quality, it is advisable
to perform additional feeding for both Brown Swiss and Anatolian
Black. |
