Estudio de las diferencias morfo fisiológicas entre gallinas y patos, y su adaptación a los sistemas intensivos de producción.

Abstract

Chickens and ducks are described as omnivorous animals with a diet provided with both products of animal and vegetable origin and in turn also the consumption of minerals. When looking at their internal organs we find many differences as similarities all this has been studied and used in production. Since its production is based on the physiological systems made by the bird. As for the production of ducks, little by little it is improving and in turn there have been a number of problems that have to be solved to improve the profitability of the producer. All the foods that are consumed by the bird provide essential nutrients to carry out their physiological functions. It is estimated that in the world about 50 million chickens and ducks are slaughtered for human consumption and for these reasons these birds are the most numerous in the world and are subjected to massive exploitation and in turn we also find them raised on land farms and backyard. The birds are subjected to an intensive production process for the production of eggs and meat, processes based on using less space and avoiding losses in the production systems, the aim is to achieve greater economic profitability for the producer. In the present work an external comparative study of their behavior and a special emphasis on the morphosiological study between chickens and legs is made to determine their impact on the adaptation of the latter to intensive production systems.
