Design and testing of add-on prototypes for transport containers to improve the loading process for end-of-lay hens and catchers
Depopulation of end-of-lay hens can result in stress and injury for both hens and catchers. A pilot study was assessed to optimise hen and catcher well-being during loading. Two add-on prototypes for attaching to transport container drawers were tested on five commercial aviary farms: prototype 1 (m...
