Effect of cage density on the performance of 25- to 84-week-old laying hens

Effect of cage density on the performance of 25- to 84-week-old laying hens

Three experiments were carrie out to evaluate the influence of cage density on the performance of 25- to 84-week-old laying hens. Forty hundred Lohmann-LSL layers were distributed in cages (100x40x 45x50cm) according to a completely randomized experimental design with split plot in time.Three treatm...
