Evaluation of the Production of Grandparent Flock Keeping on Deep Litter with Different Technologies

Abstract

This thesis evaluatesthe production of grandparent flocks on deep litter with slat in various modernised technologies, and how these technologies have changed in the last 50 years. From a grandparent broiler farm in Hungary, several data were obtained, analysed, and evaluated to help draw a conclusion asto whether the progress and development of farming technology has been becoming more productive over the last half-century. The farming technology groups considered were those built in 1970, 2015 and 2018, and would form the basis of the comparative study. With these groups, a number of productive parameters were compared by numerical data, descriptive statistics, and comparative statistics. The statistical analysis of the data revealed both logical and unexpected findings.
