Effect of Environmental Enrichment Within Cages on Production and Welfare in Laying Hens

Effect of Environmental Enrichment Within Cages on Production and Welfare in Laying Hens

ABSTRACT This study aims to compare the effects of conventional cage systems (CC) and environmentally enriched cage systems (EEC) (which include nest boxes, perches, and pecking stones) on the productivity and welfare of laying hens, also considering the responses of two genotypes - Hyline Brown (HB...
