Pengaruh Perbedaan Transportasi Sistem M-CLOVE dengan Konvensional dan Jenis Kelamin terhadap Respon Fisiologis Ayam Broiler
Abstract: Meat consumption in
Indonesia has increased with most needs come from broiler meat.
However, it is not followed
by development of the
transportation technology that consider animal welfare. The purpose of
this study was to compare the level of broiler stress measured from comb, shank
and rectal temperature among sex between conventional transport system and
environmentally transportation M- CLOVE. The results showed average of
temperature and relative humidity during the transport process in the M-CLOVE
was lower compared to the open crate. Temperature differences occured 1.4 °C
with a relative humidity of 2.5% different. M-CLOVE transport reduced the level
of stress of broiler which was indicated from lower comb temperature, shank
temperature and rectal temperature which compared to broiler transported in
open crate. Closed system and constant air circulation in the M-CLOVE might
reduce the effects
of heat generated
from exposure to
direct sunlight during the transportation process.
