Multiple Regression01:25

Multiple Regression

3.3K
Multiple regression assesses a linear relationship between one response or dependent variable and two or more independent variables. It has many practical applications.
Farmers can use multiple regression to determine the crop yield based on more than one factor, such as water availability, fertilizer, soil properties, etc. Here, the crop yield is the response or dependent variable as it depends on the other independent variables. The analysis requires the construction of a scatter plot...

Production Efficiency01:01

Production Efficiency

17.2K
Net production efficiency (NPE) is the efficiency at which organisms assimilate energy into biomass for the next trophic level. Due to low metabolic rates and less energy spent on thermoregulatory processes, the NPE of ectotherms (cold-blooded animals) is 10 times higher than endotherms (warm-blooded animals).

Decision Making: P-value Method

5.8K
The process of hypothesis testing based on the P-value method includes calculating the P- value using the sample data and interpreting it.
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is proposed. The claim is based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to the claim  is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses:  a null hypothesis would be a neutral statement while the alternative hypothesis can...

Energy Budgets00:51

Energy Budgets

9.8K
Organisms must balance energy intake with the energy required for growth, maintenance and reproduction. These trade-offs result in a variety of survivorship and reproductive strategies, including semelparity and iteroparity. Semelparous species, like annual plants, have only one reproductive episode in their lifetimes and consequently have short lifespans. Iteroparous species, by contrast, have many reproductive events during their lifetimes but have relatively few offspring. These two...

Area of Science:

  • Agricultural Science
  • Animal Welfare Studies
  • Environmental Science

Background:

  • Evaluating commercial poultry farming systems requires a comprehensive approach considering multiple welfare dimensions.
  • Existing comparisons often lack a holistic view, integrating human, environmental, and animal well-being.
  • The One Welfare framework provides a novel lens for assessing farming sustainability and ethical considerations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and apply a multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) model for comparing organic (Ross 308 and Naked Neck genotypes) and conventional poultry farming systems.
  • To operationalize the One Welfare approach by integrating human, environmental, and animal welfare metrics.
  • To assess the overall performance and identify the most advantageous poultry farming system based on the developed model.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a multicriteria model integrating human, environmental, and animal welfare indicators.
  • Application of the model to compare three commercial poultry farming systems: organic with Ross 308 (OR), organic with Naked Neck (ONN), and conventional (C).
  • Conducting a sensitivity analysis, specifically weight stability analysis, to validate the robustness of the findings.

Main Results:

  • Organic systems (OR and ONN) demonstrated superior performance in human and animal welfare dimensions, with variations linked to genetic strains.
  • The conventional system (C) exhibited a better environmental index due to its specific rearing methods.
  • The multicriteria analysis indicated that organic farming systems generally outperformed conventional systems.
  • The use of slow-growing (SG) strains in organic systems significantly improved overall ranking by enhancing welfare and socio-economic outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • The developed multicriteria model effectively integrates the One Welfare approach for evaluating poultry farming systems.
  • Organic poultry farming, especially with slow-growing genotypes, presents a more favorable option when considering a holistic One Welfare perspective.
  • The study highlights the importance of genetic strain selection in optimizing welfare and economic performance within different farming systems.
