Influence of light exposure during late incubation, early feeding, and litter access posthatch on the stress response and body weight gain in laying hen chicks

SUMMARY: In-ovo sexing opens the door to on-farm hatching in the laying hen sector, but knowledge on the implications of different hatching system factors remains limited. This study addressed the influence of continuous light exposure during the last 3 d of incubation, posthatch feed and water acce...
