Behaviour and well-being of hens (Gallus domesticus) in alternative housing environments.
Widespread concern is evident in some countries, especially those of Western Europe, for the well-being of hens in high-density environments. Evaluation of potentially stressful conditions is diffi...
Behavioral and Genetic Adaptation of Laying Hens to High-Density Environments
TLDR
Preliminary evidence indicates that selection may significantly improve adaptation via changes in behavioral characteristics in hens kept for egg production.
Whole wheat versus mixed layer diet as supplementary feed to layers foraging a sequence of different forage crops.
TLDR
It is concluded that nutrient-restricted, high-producing organic layers are capable of finding and utilising considerable amounts of different feed items from a cultivated foraging area without negative effects on their health and welfare.
Avian blood leucocyte responses to stress
This review on avian blood leucocyte responses to stress covers the literature from the early 1980s. It considers only non-infectious hormonal responses of leucocytes to stress mediated either by n...
Management of spent hens.
TLDR
Methods used in Canada and the United States for the catching and removing of spent hens from the layer house and the subsequent loading of them onto vehicles for transport, unloading, and slaughter at the processing plant are reviewed.
Livestock welfare product claims: the emerging social context.
TLDR
A greater understanding is provided of how product claims about food animal welfare or well-being are made, their implications, and the challenges they present.
A market study on the quality characteristics of eggs from different housing systems
Sustainability of egg production in the United States--the policy and market context.
TLDR
This paper discusses the US egg industry in the context of legislation and standards related to hen housing systems and addresses initiatives by retailers, nongovernmental organizations, and private certification organizations to shape production practices in the egg industry as well as how those initiatives might affect various aspects of the sustainability of egg production.
The Genetics of Feather Pecking and Cannibalism
TLDR
Within-line genetic components of feather pecking and cannibalism have been quantified and suggest a genetic solution might be more sustainable, efficacious and cost effective than environmental modifications.
Production, physiological, and behavioral responses of laying hens in different management environments.
Responses of commercial laying hens to 16 management systems were examined for 10 laying periods of 28 days each. Twelve cage treatments consisted of housing three, four, or five hens in deep and…
