Minimally-invasive assessments of the behavioural and physiological effects of enriched colony cages on laying hens
Download2011
Korver, Doug R., Schaefer, Allan L., Cook, Nigel J., Feddes, John J. R., Church, John S., Haley, Derek B.
The well-being of laying hens in cages of 5, 10, 20 and 40-birds/cage, and enrichment with perches, nest boxes and scratch pads, was assessed using behavioral and physiological parameters. Laying hens were Lohmann Brown (n = 360) and White Leghorns (n = 360), housed from 17 to 65 weeks of age....
