DIFERENTES SISTEMAS DE CRIAÇÕES NA INCIDÊNCIA DE ASCITE, CAQUEXIA E CELULITE EM FRANGOS DE CORTE

Abstract

Chicken meat is one of the most consumed in the world, and Brazil is one of the largest producers of this protein, so, sanitary care is necessary in order to guarantee the quality of the product offered to consumers. One of the main causes of meat disposal is the diseases such as: ascites, cachexia and cellulitis, and the place where they are located. Thus, the present work has the objective of evaluating if the different systems of creation have influence on the incidence of ascites, cachexia and cellulitis in broilers. Conviction data from the Federal Inspection Service (SIF, Brazil), referring to the slaughters of the years 2019, 2020 and 2021 were used, generating a total of 10,684 records of condemned carcasses of only one integrated, being distributed by types of aviary of origin: conventional – positive pressure ventilation, being; Blue House type - negative pressure ventilation; Dark House – negative pressure ventilation. The slaughter date occurred in two climatic periods of the year: hot and humid. The percentages of condemned birds were divided by each pathology. The main pathological cause, represented by the largest cause of condemnation in this study, was cellulite (77%), followed by ascitic syndrome with 17.46% of the total samples analyzed and in third, cachexia with 4.83%. The static analyzes showed that there are no differences regarding the incidence of diseases analyzed in the different types of sheds, despite their structural differences, climate and light control, evaluated in hot and humid periods.
