Effect of nest design, passages, and hybrid on use of nest and production performance of layers in furnished cages.

Poultry science - 1 Mar 2002

Wall H, Tauson R, Elwinger K

Abstract excerpt

Production performance, including egg quality, and proportion of eggs laid in nests were studied in furnished experimental cages incorporating nests, litter baths, and perches. The study comprised a total of 972 hens of two genotypes: Lohmann Selected Leghorn (LSL) and Hy-Line White. The birds we...
