Contrafreeloading and foraging-related behavior in hens differing in laying performance and phylogenetic origin

Contrafreeloading and foraging-related behavior in hens differing in laying performance and phylogenetic origin

ABSTRACT: Different breeds of domestic and junglefowl differ in foraging strategies indicating that domestication resulted in modified energy saving behavioral strategies. In the present study we investigated foraging strategies and foraging-related behavior in 4 lines of laying hens differing in ph...
