白羅曼種鵝繁殖期調節應用之研究 Application of Reproductive Period Regulation in 研究生: 歐修汶 Hsiu-Wen Ou 指導教授:謝豪晃 How-Hong Hsieh [摘要]The experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of light and temperature controlled housing on laying performances and laying period control of the White Roman geese. One thousand and two hundred breeder geese with male to female ratio 1:5, were raised up in conventional housing, after restricted feeding for a period to delay the laying cycle and forced molting, the breeder geese were put on environmental controlled housing in May. With black curtain and light trap, the lighting program was set at 9 hrs of light/day from 0700 to 1600. The results showed that in environmental-controlled breeding house plus with feed restriction program can regulate the reproductive period with satisfactory performances. The first reproduction period last for 29 weeks, with 66.5 eggs were laid per breeding goose and egg production rate was 32.7％. For overall fertility was over 80％ and the hatchability of the fertile eggs was over 85％. Increasing lighting time up to 16 hrs, the whole day average feed intake was decreased significantly, however the average feed intake during light period and before noon were increased significantly. The eggs were most laid during the dark period; with increasing lighting period up to 16 hrs significantly decreased the whole day average egg production. However, the egg production was significantly decreased with a 20 hrs of lighting period, restricted water and feed, as well as the fertility, but the hatchability was maintained. The laying time distribution were observed, most eggs were laid during dark period from 1600 to 0700 with more than 62％ of the total eggs laid daily. The serum calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, triglycerides, cholesterol and albumin levels during peak egg production period were higher than resting period. In the breeding geese, except cholesterol all the criteria of the serum contents were higher in the
