Abstract

Abstract: This experiment was conducted to study the effect of cage density on the production performance, meat quality, welfare index and cecal microorganisms of Xueshan chickens. Totally, 180 6-week-old Xueshan female chickens with similar body weight were randomly selected into high-density, middle-density and low-density rearing system equally with 20 replicates, and 4, 3 or 2 birds in each cage as a replicate. And the production performance, slaughter performance, meat quality, feathers and gait score, and the cecal microflora composition were detected at the market age of 15-week-old. The results showed that:1) The body weight of chickens in the low- and middle-density group were significantly higher than those in the high-density group from the age of 11-to 15-week-old(P<0.05). The abdominal fat weight and abdominal fat percentage of 15-week-old chickens in the low-density group were significantly higher than those in the mid-dle-density group (P<0.05), and the abdominal fat indexes in middle-density were significantly higher than those in high-density group (P<0.05). No significant difference were found in the other slaughter indexes (P>0.05). 2) The feather quality of chickens in the middle- and low-density groups were significantly better than that in the high-density group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in gait score among three groups (P>0.05). 3) Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, and Proteobacteria were 3 dominant flora in cecum. And there was no significant diffe-rence in intestinal flora among 3 groups (P>0.05). However, chickens in the middle-density group exhibited less unique OTUs in cecum. Compared with the high density cecal microflora, the middle- and low-density cecal microflora were more similar. The proportion of Firmicutes and Bacterioidetes might be related to body weight. In general, these findings may provide a reliable information for considering the selection of middle-density for female Xueshan broilers can get better production performance.

Key words: Xueshan chicken, feeding density, production performance, meat quality, feather, gait, cecal microorganisms
