Genetic parameter estimates for the use of an aviary with winter garden by laying hens

Genetic parameter estimates for the use of an aviary with winter garden by laying hens

ABSTRACT: The behavioral activity of laying hens in an aviary is indicative of their welfare and health. Furthermore, hens’ usage of the different locations within an aviary has been shown to influence laying performance and egg quality. For example, hens that spent a longer duration of time in the...
