Association of feed efficiency with organ characteristics and fatty liver haemorrhagic syndrome in laying hens

Abstract Poor feed efficiency (FE) in hens impacts body weight (BW) and may reflect suboptimal health. Fatty Liver Haemorrhagic Syndrome (FLHS) is mostly observed in laying hens and affects egg production and hen performance. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships of FE and BW wi...
