Abstract: This study was made in order to determine the growth and life strength characteristics of rock partridges (A. Graeca) in intensive breeding conditions. The study was initiated with 354 chicks, which hatched recently and proceeded with 317 chicks after 4th week when chicks were separated into groups within the cage and on the ground 182 chicks were placed in the ground system (1098 cm² /partridge) while 135 chicks were placed in the cage system (1060 cm² /partridge) in order to determine the effects of intensive breeding methods on growth and life strength characteristics. Chick growing feed was used until 16th week to feed the partridges and then egg-laying chicken feed was used in order to feed the female partridges. Feeding was made ad libitum during the study. While no significant difference could be observed between the average animal weights in ground and cage groups until 11.week, the differences in 11., 12., 14., 15.weeks (P<0.05) and 13.week (P<0.01) were considered to be significant. In the 16th week of breeding, the weights were measured as 435.76 g and 445.61 g respectively, which show a significant difference between ground and cage groups (P<0.05) . In weeks 20, 23, 27 and 32, the average weights of the female rock partridges in ground groups were significantly more than the weights of the female rock partridges in the cage groups (P<0.01) . In ground and cage groups, life strength values were 63.73% and 92.59% respectively between week 4 and week 16, which shows a significant difference (P<0.01) . It was observed that, in intensive conditions, breeding in cage might be better than breeding on the ground, in means of animal weight increase and life strength values.
