“…A comparação de estudos de comportamento de aves selvagens e domesticadas em ambientes controlados pelo homem indica que o repertório comportamental das aves em ambientes não-confinados, em geral, é preservado, havendo mudanças na freqüência e na intensidade das características comportamentais (CRAIG, 1992).…”

A grande preocupação com o uso de gaiolas dá-se quanto ao espaço oferecido às aves poedeiras, o qual, certamente, afeta seu bem-estar. Sendo assim, este trabalho teve o objetivo de avaliar aspectos relacionados ao comportamento e bem-estar animal, comparando o sistema de criação alternativo (com cama e ninho) com o sistema convencional em gaiolas. Para isso, dois grupos de 20 aves (10 Hy-Line W36 e 10 Hy-Line Brown) em início de produção foram divididos em dois sistemas de criação (cama+ninho e gaiolas) e colocadas em câmara climática: um grupo a 26 °C e 60% UR (condição de conforto térmico), e outro a 35 °C e 70% UR (condição de estresse térmico), onde eram constantemente monitoradas por câmeras de vídeo. Com base na análise dos comportamentos, verificou-se que o sistema de criação em cama propiciou a expressão de todos os comportamentos naturais relacionados ao conforto das aves, evidenciando o estado de bem-estar das mesmas. Para o sistema em gaiolas, pôde ser constatado que as aves tentavam expressar seus comportamentos naturais, mesmo não tendo condições para isso. Essa impossibilidade de expressão dos comportamentos agravou as condições de estresse provocadas por esse sistema de criação e pela condição ambiental a que as aves foram submetidas.

“…Feather pecking also contains social elements (Craig 1992) in the sense that it is observed in groups and is directed at other group members. If it occurs in a flock then all or most of the individuals show the behaviour and it is not limited to a few single birds (Wechsler et al 1998).…”

Is there social transmission of feather pecking in groups of laying hen chicks?

“…Aggressive interactions among turkeys are typically defined as forceful, repeated pecking bouts directed at the head or body of another individual [ 6 , 7 ]. Craig [ 11 ] discussed how the behaviors that poultry species exhibit within their social hierarchies could have an effect on both their well-being and production characteristics such as meat quality. Considering there is very little research on this subject, especially in turkeys, the possibility of a relationship between social status and meat quality should be assessed.…”

Heat Stress and an Immune Challenge Influence Turkey Meat Quality, but Conspecific-Directed Pecking Behavior Does Not

Heat stress (HS), immune challenges (IC) and pecking behavior are some of the many stressors poultry can experience in commercial settings that may affect bird welfare and meat quality after harvest. The first objective was to determine if HS or IC turkeys displayed greater negative effects on meat quality, and the second objective was to determine if the frequency of non-aggressive pecking behaviors among the birds was related to meat quality. Ninety-two, commercial male, beak-trimmed turkeys were used with a total of 15 rooms and 4–7 birds per room. Each treatment was applied for 1 week prior to harvest: the Control (CON) group had no stressors added, the HS group ambient temperature was approximately 29 °C for 120 min, and the IC group involved inoculating birds with a live vaccine for hemorrhagic enteritis virus. Birds were recorded and scored to quantify pecking behavior. Once harvested, carcasses were evaluated for feather retention force, pH, color, proximate analysis, fatty acid composition, shear force, and drip loss. Stress treatment resulted in HS breasts having the lowest protein content, and IC breasts having the lowest CIE L* values and the greatest shear force values. Pecking behavior had no impact on any meat quality attributes.
