Abstract | [Tie stall housing, currently adopted for Girgentana breed goats in order to avoid lesions due to their long horns, was compared with free housing, evaluating welfare level and productive responses of 40 subjects. Girgentana goats tethered in wooden stalls exhibited good welfare conditions and a higher yield, related to the absence of stress due to social hierarchy and to the availability of individual supplementation. However, if adequate hygiene and enough space is assured, the subjects showed a good adaptability to free-housing, which offered more possibilities of movement and social interaction and induced a better immune response; the reduction in manpower could compensate the lower production level recorded in this system.]
La stabulazione in poste individuali, in uso per la razza Girgentana, per evitare che le capre possano procurarsi lesioni con le corna, viene confrontata con la stabulazione libera, valutando il grado di benessere e la produttività di 40 capre. Le Girgentane tenute alla posta hanno fatto rilevare buone condizioni di benessere e un più elevato livello produttivo, collegati alla mancanza degli effetti stressanti della gerarchia sociale e alla possibilità dell´integrazione individuale. Tuttavia, assicurando adeguata igiene e sufficiente spazio, le Girgentane hanno mostrato di poter adattarsi anche alla stabulazione libera, che ha offerto maggiori possibilità di movimento e relazioni sociali e ha indotto una migliore risposta immunitaria; la minore esigenza di manodopera compenserebbe il più basso livello produttivo registrato con tale sistema |

La stabulazione in poste individuali, in uso per la razza Girgentana, per evitare che le capre possano procurarsi lesioni con le corna, viene confrontata con la stabulazione libera, valutando il grado di benessere e la produttività di 40 capre. Le Girgentane tenute alla posta hanno fatto rilevare buone condizioni di benessere e un più elevato livello produttivo, collegati alla mancanza degli effetti stressanti della gerarchia sociale e alla possibilità dell´integrazione individuale. Tuttavia, assicurando adeguata igiene e sufficiente spazio, le Girgentane hanno mostrato di poter adattarsi anche alla stabulazione libera, che ha offerto maggiori possibilità di movimento e relazioni sociali e ha indotto una migliore risposta immunitaria; la minore esigenza di manodopera compenserebbe il più basso livello produttivo registrato con tale sistema In the past years, in Sicily, goats of the Girgentana breed have decreased so drastically in number that they risked extinction. Among the causes, particular blame can be laid at the traditional housing system, in which the goats, after coming back from pasture, were tethered in individual wooden stalls. Such a system is still considered necessary by breeders in order to avoid aggressive and harmful behaviour on the part of the animals, due to the presence of their long horns (Giaccone et al., 1994). This belief negatively interferes with the action recently initiated for the recovery and regeneration of the breed (Portolano et al., 2002); in fact, the tie stalls housing, increasing manpower, limits the increase in size in herds of Girgentana goats... |
