The influence on behavior and physiology of white-feathered end-of-cycle hens during simulated transport
ABSTRACT: Transportation is a stressful procedure that can alter end-of-cycle hen (EOCH) behavior and physiology. This study (5 × 3 × 2 factorial arrangement) aimed to assess the effects of temperature (T)/relative humidity (RH) (−10°C uncontrolled RH (−10), +21°C 30%RH (21/30), +21°C 80%RH (21/80),...
