Recently, some investigations on increasing of the cannibalism with the aggressive behaviours in laying flocks have been reported by the researchers who are interested in avian genetics. Therefore, in this study, effects of aggression and social hierarchy on the egg production and behavioural activities (food intake, preening, sitting, standing, cage pecking, dustbatching and fearing) were investigated. Moreover, differences between genotypes used were also discussed in terms of those traits. Ten white layers (Lohmann LSL) and ten brown layers (H & N Brown Nick) were used. In the beginning of the study, ten dominant and ten recessive birds from each genotype were classified with respect to social hierarchy and in order to establishing of the social order, one dominant and one recessive bird selected from different genotypes were placed in the same cage. Effects of social hierarchy on all parameters were not significant (p>0.05). Egg production of the white layers (15.7±2.81) was lower than the brown layers (25.6±2.81) and differences between the groups were found to be significant (p<0.05). White layers were found to be more aggressive (p<0.05) and fear (p<0.001) than the brown layers. Results also showed that feeding behaviour of recessive bird was significantly affected by the aggressive pecking of dominant bird (R2=0.43; p<0.05).

Ankara Üniversity, Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Soil Science-Ankara

In this study, a comparasion of simulated rainfall of a rainfall simulator constructed in the Research Laboratory of Soil Science Department, Agricultural Faculty of Ankara University, with the natural rainfall of Ankara Region were performed. Drop size and drop fall velocity which are the most important rainfall characteristics in determining rainfall erosivity were made use of. Kinetic energy (0.5 mV²), momentum (mV), kinetic energy per unit of drop impact-area (0.5 mV² / A) and momentum per unit drop impact-area (mV / A) were investigated as comparison parameters. For each parameter, a "relative erosivity" presenting the ratio of the erosivity of the simulated rainfall to that of natural rainfall was calculated. The percentage values obtained have shown that of parameters momentum and kinetic energy would be respectively the most suitable for the simulated rainfall to represent the natural rainfall which was more than 70 % generally. However, relative erosivities calculated by using both kinetic energy and momentum per unit of drop impact-area were mostly larger than 100 %, meaning, that the simulated rainfall excessively represented the natural rainfall. This excessiveness was ascribed to that uniform mean drop sizes of the simulated rainfall were much bigger than the median drop sizes of natural rainfall with identical intensities.

Key Words: Drop size, drop fall velocity, kinetic energy, momentum
