“…In previous reports of Tucak et al (2008) (970±157 g) and Hofbauer et al (2010) (912±142 g) slightly lower weights were outlined, but accurate comparison is not possible, because the age and diet of the birds was not defined in those articles. However, Kuzniacka and Adamski (2010) found 978±10.5 g average live weight at 24 weeks of age using a finisher diet from the 17th week of growing period with higher energy, but somewhat lower protein content than in our investigation. The difference was only 67 g lower than in our investigation.…”

Ring necked pheasant is the most significant game bird in Hungary. Around 300.000 pheasant harvested (hunted) annually and generally these birds are consumed by the hunters. As there are limited data on the quality of pheasant meat, in the present study we aimed to analyze some physical and chemical properties of it. At 20 weeks of age 63 pheasant hens were exterminated by cervical dislocation and meat, liver, spleen and heart samples were taken. The live weight of the birds was 1045±92g (870 to 1300g). The average weight of the liver, spleen and heart was 14.12±2.58, 0.47±0.13 and 4.30±0.49, respectively. The average drip loss was 5.90±2.38% (0.68±0.28g). As was expected the average protein content (26.2±0.7%) of the pheasant breasts was markedly higher than in broiler or turkey. The average fat content (0.4±0.2%) was similar to that in turkey. The unique chemical and physical properties of the pheasant meat make it suitable to fit in the human nutrition.

Fifty game pheasants were kept to 8 weeks in confinement housing and later maintained outdoors in a partially roofed aviary. Pheasants received commercial feed mixtures ad libitum. Body weight and dimensions were determined every 4 weeks. Ten pheasants were selected for slaughter at the end of 18 and 20 weeks each. After slaughter, their heads, shanks, feathers, blood, inedible viscera and major internal organs were weighed and digestive tract separated and measured. The carcasses were dissected. Higher body weights and daily gains were found in males than in females on all test days during rearing to 20 weeks of age. Compared to females, males had significantly longer keel from 4 weeks, longer lower thighs and shanks from 8 weeks, and longer trunk with and without neck and greater chest circumference from 12 weeks of age. Older pheasants had a significantly lower proportion of feathers and blood, and higher content of inedible viscera, with significantly relatively shorter (cm 100 g b.w. ) small intestine, caecum and rectum in males than in females. With advancing age, there was a decrease in the proportion of gizzard (significant) and liver, and in males a significant increase in the proportion of testicles. Keywords

“…A fattening period of 13 weeks was also used in the work of Straková et al (2005).

Fattening pheasants for the production of quality meat is a relatively recent development. With its high protein and low fat content, meat of pheasant is a highly nutritious food whose value exceeds that of broiler chickens meat. Despite the fact that the intensive rearing of pheasants has developed relatively quickly in recent years, information on the fattening capabilities and slaughter values of pheasants is often insufficient in the current literature. The length of the fattening period also differs in the literature and reported from 13 to 20 weeks while highest weight gains of pheasants to occur between 4 and 12 weeks of age. Growth of pheasants is also reflected in the weight and dimensions of internal organs, crop, oesophagus, gizzard and intestine grow up to 12 weeks of age, after which they develop their physiological ability. The structure, weight and length of the digestive tract and other internal organs of pheasants depend on housing system, gender and nutrition. Relatively few investigations were conducted to determine the influence of feed additives on fattening performance of pheasants. One of the possibilities is the use of humic acids in nutrition pheasant. Humic acids are organic compounds naturally present in soil and they positively affected growth ability, feed conversion and reducing mortality. /18.4.1953 týždňom veku. Rast bažantov sa odráža aj v hmotnosti a rozmeroch vnútorných orgánov, hrvoľ, pažerák, žalúdok a črevá rastú až 12 týždňov, potom sa rozvíjajú ich fyziologické schopnosti. Štruktúra, hmotnosť a dĺžka tráviaceho traktu a vnútorných orgánov bažantov závisí systému chovu, pohlavia a výživy. Relatívne málo experimentov bolo realizovaných za účelom zistenie vplyvu doplnkových látok na výkrmové ukazovatele bažantov. Jednou z možností je použitie humínových kyselín vo výžive výkrmových bažantov. Humínové kyseliny sú organické zlúčeniny prirodzene prítomné v pôde a pozitívne ovplyvňujú rastovú schopnosť, konverziu krmiva a znižujú mortalitu.749 Journal of Central European Agriculture, 2017, 18(4), p.749-761 DOI: 10.5513/JCEA01/18.4.1953 749 Journal of Central European Agriculture, 2017, 18(4), p.749-761 DOI: 10.5513/JCEA01/18.4.1953 749 Journal of Central European Agriculture, 2017, 18(4), p.749-761 DOI: 10.5513/JCEA01Kľúčové slová: bažant, humínové kyseliny, kŕmne aditíva, výkrm Detailný abstrakt V poslednom období možno vo svete badať zvýšený záujem o farmový spôsob chovu voľne žijúcej zveri. Je to spôsobené predovšetkým dopytom po mäse a jeho zúžitkovaním v humánnej výžive. Doposiaľ bolo publikovaných niekoľko prác, ktoré sa zaoberajú aj farmovým chovom bažantej zveri. Viaceré práce sa zaoberajú možným výkrmom bažantov, ktorý vychádza z klasického výkrmu brojlerových kurčiat. V relatívne nedávnej dobe sa v rámci umelého chovu bažantov začal uplatňovať aj ich výkrm za účelom produkcie kvalitného bažantieho mäsa, typického vysokým obsahom ľahko stráviteľných bielkovín a nízkym obsahom tuku. Táto situácia už nie je ničím neobvyklá v zahraničí, kde cielene orientované f...
