Grief and Shock, Discernment and Dificulties, Their Reasons and Motives in the Light of the Teachings of the Holy Prophet (PBUH)

Islam has this faith that everything of the universe, small or big has come into existence with the will, power, method and knowledge of Allah. Fate is the attribution of Allah, which is the truth. It is the condition to have belief of this faith. Since, faith is the attribution of Allah and it’s impossible for anyone to know the extent of godly attributions, so the issue of fate is delicate and precise. One must only have the faith that whatever is happening in the world was already in the knowledge of Allah and god has already saved it on the safe tablet. The dilemma of fate has not been solved by anyone and it will never be solved. There must be a simple faith that whatever is happening in the world has already known by Allah as the Creator of everything is God and everything has come into existence with His creation. All the matters happening in the world are of two kinds. In some of them the will and authority is prevail. In these matters which are to be done which are not to be done orders of their execution or prohibition are given. If they are not performed because of will and authority, there will be accountability for them. Secondly, all those works which have the order of not to be performed, it is necessary not to perform them with one’s will and authority. If those works are not avoided, one must be accountable for them. There are some other works which do not involve our will and authority so, whatever happens is according to our fate. The works having our will and authority for performance will be rewarded and punished accordingly. This study explores the reasons of grief, shock, discernment and difficulties, their reasons and motives in the light of teaching of The Holy Prophet.

Performance of Rhode Island Red, Black Australorp and Naked Neck Crossbred under Free Range, Semi Intesive and Intensive Housing Systems

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the performance of three chicken genotypes under free range, semi intensive and intensive housing systems. The study was included three experiments; in Experiment I, the effects of housing systems (free-range, semi-intensive and intensive) on performance of early-phase chickens (7-16 weeks of age) over 10 weeks were compared across sex (cockerel vs. pullet) and genotype [purebred Naked Neck (NN) and two crossbreds Rhode Island Red × Naked Neck (RIR × NN = RNN) and Black Australorp × Naked Neck (BAL × NN = BNN)]. Twenty birds were assigned to each of the 18 treatments (housing system [3] × sex [2] × genotype [3]; n = 360 total birds) in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). Body weight, behavioral repertoires (walking, jumping, running, drinking, feeding, standing, sitting, aggressiveness, dust bathing and wing flapping), morphometrics (body, shank, keel, neck, drumstick and beak length, shank, and drumstick circumference, wing spread and body weight) were measured weekly. At age of 16 weeks, 3 birds from each treatment (n = 54); were euthanized and carcass characteristics [weight at slaughter, dressed weight, carcass yield, giblets weight (liver, gizzard and heart), breast, drumstick, thigh and wings] were also evaluated. In Experiment II, the influence of housing systems on performance of different genotypes (NN, RNN & BNN) were observed from 17-21 weeks, similarly as described earlier in experiment I (n =260 birds). Blood samples were collected from 27 pullets to evaluate serum chemistry (glucose, total protein, albumin, globulin, uric acid, creatinine and cholesterol) and antibody titers against Newcastle Disease and Infectious Bronchitis. Experiment III, was the continuation of experiment-II, where 260 birds were used. Out of these 260 birds, 180 birds (48 pullets and 12 cockerels from each of 3 genotypes) were moved to breeding coops at ratios of 4 pullets to one cockerel. The effects of housing system on different performance traits was recorded from 27th to 46 weeks of age.Eggs were collected on a daily basis to study egg production rates, egg weight (g) and egg mass (g). A total of 45 eggs, comprising 5 eggs per treatment group were subjected to quality assessment (shape index, surface area, volume, egg weight, Haugh unit, yolk index and shell thickness) at the start (26 weeks) and at the end (46 weeks) of the experiment. Eggs were stored at 13-15°C and 70-80% relative humidity for seven days and then set in the hatchery at Avian Research and Training Centre (ARTC), University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences (UVAS), Lahore under standard condition for studying hatching traits (hatchability, fertility, early dead embryo and dead in shell percent). Collected data were statistically analyzed by two-way ANOVA technique followed by Tukey’s HSD test. Regarding morphometric traits at 16 weeks, drumstick length (12.24 vs. 11.65, 11.47cm; P = 0.0029) and circumference (8.63 vs. 7.23, 7.04 cm; P = 0.0029) of male birds was higher in NN chickens than BNN and RNN. Shank circumference was higher in BNN chickens followed by RNN and NN (P < 0.0001). Higher beak length was noted in RNN and BNN chickens than NN (3.28, 3.23 vs. 3.12 cm; P = 0.0008). Significantly higher wing spread was found in NN and BNN chicken as compared to RNN (9.02, 8.93 vs. 8.28 cm; P = 0.0002). In terms of housing systems, keel length was higher in semi-intensive and intensive birds as compared to free-range birds (10.66, 10.42 vs. 9.93 cm; P = < 0.0004). Higher drumstick length was observed in semi-intensive and free-range birds than intensive system (11.98, 11.93 vs. 11.46; P = 0.0468).

During rearing period, RNN and BNN male chickens had higher body weight and shank length than NN; however, NN females chickens had the highest keel length, drumstick circumference and cholesterol levels. RNN females had the highest titers against ND. BNN chickens were better in terms of productive performance and egg characteristics as compared to RNN and NN. However, hatching traits were better in RNN chickens than BNN and NN. Regarding housing systems, male chickens reared under semi-intensive system had the maximum drumstick and keel length during growing stage than free-range and intensive birds. Female chickens reared under semi-intensive were better in terms of body and keel length and shank circumference as compared to the birds under free-range and intensive systems. Chickens (male as well as female) reared under semi-intensive system exhibited more pronounced explorative and maintenance behaviors than free-range and intensive systems. Chickens of both sexes reared under intensive system had better carcass traits as compared to semi-intensive and free-range birds. Glucose level was higher in female chicken under intensive as compared to the birds reared under semi-intensive and free-range systems; however, antibody titer against IB was higher in free-range birds followed by semi-intensive and intensive birds. During production stage, birds reared under intensive system showed better performance than semi-intensive and free-range production systems, however, hatching traits were better in free-range birds than semi-intensive and intensive birds.
