Abstract excerpt

The effect of the enrichment (10% ad libitum daily feed intake) with live larvae of Hermetia illucens (HI) was evaluated on behavior, egg production and quality from 36 to 40 weeks of age in 1800 laying hens of two genotypes (brown and white) randomly allocated in 8 pens of an aviary system. The larvae enrichment significantly affected space use and behavior, increasing the number of birds on the floor (P <...
