Abstract

The behavioral and physiological performance of young Egyptian goslings were studied under systems of management, confined and open system. Birds were divided into 2 equal groups each of 10, six weeks old goslings. The study was conducted for 6 consecutive weeks in the department of hygiene and animal ethology. Obtained results revealed that goslings kept in open system showed a marked increase in feed consumption (Kg), have good feathering, and obtained a (2.19 / Kg) final body weight. While goslings kept in confinement showed less feed consumption, poor feathering and obtained (1.696/ Kg) final body weight. Goslings in open system were active, feed searching, ground pecking, contented, sleeping and sunbathing, comfort movements than do goslings confinement. The ethogram of goslings in open system was timed by nature than the ethogram of that in confinement. No significant differences in RBCs (million / ml), Hb % MCV, MCH, PCV. MCHC (P < 0.01) was found between goslings of the two systems of management.
