Relatório de estágio em produção de frangos de corte na Faculdade de Veterinária, caso de estudo: avaliação rectrospectivo do desempenho produtivo de frangos de corte criados na granja da Faculdade de Veterinária no ano 2023

Abstract

This report describes the activities carried out during the internship at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine (FAVET) over a period of 4 months (from April 4th to August 17th) of 2023 and a case study. The internship aimed to consolidate theoretical and practical knowledge acquired during the course, on broiler chicken farming through participation in the activities developed on the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine's farm. During the internship, the rearing of 3 batches of broiler chickens was monitored, where various activities were carried out, including preparation of the shed, sanitary management, feeding management and monitoring. The chicks used were 1-day-old, sex-neutral, Ross 308 lineage. The parameters analyzed included Average Feed Intake (AFI), Average Weight Gain (AWG), Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR), Viability (V), Uniformity (U) and Productive Efficiency Index (PEI). The results showed that the IEP was 407.00 in batch 1, 349.21 in batch 2, and 361.91 in batch 3. The case study consisted of a retrospective analysis of the registration forms of the batches produced on the FAVET farm, from January to December 2023. According to the data from the registration forms, 7 batches of broiler chickens were produced, where an average of 1,992 (1,489 – 2,291) birds were housed per batch, totaling 13,345 birds. The average rearing period was 40 days (35 – 43), with an average variation of 5 days (3–8) in the date of departure of the batches. From the analyses performed, the following productive parameters were calculated: Feed Intake (FI), Average Daily Gain (ADG), Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR), and Mortality Rate (MR%) up to 21 days. On average, FI was 1,297.92 g (1,073.00 – 1,396.77 g), FCR was 1.44 g (1.28 – 1.52), ADG was 44 g (40.86 – 45.52 g), and MR was 2.84% (2.50 – 3.89%). These results, when compared with the literature data for the lineage under study, lead to the conclusion that they are not within the recommended parameters. Regarding the number of batches and animals housed in 2023, considering the housing capacity (Number of pavilions), it can be stated that there was low utilization of space on the FAVET farm(TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
