Effects of keel bone deviation on post-peak egg production in a commercial laying hen flock with different breast condition

نویسندگان

چکیده

This study was made to investigate the effects of breast condition and keel bone deviations on post-peak egg production a commercial laying hen housed in multi-tier conventional battery cage. The birds divided into two groups according presence deviation at first. Then further as well developed or relatively developed. hens were kept under identical management conditions for during study. Data about daily production, feed intake, mortality weight collected from 62 77 weeks age groups. There no significant body layer hens. initial final are significantly different between (P

Effect of Different Levels of Germinated Barley on Performance and Egg Quality in Laying Hen

Objective: The experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of different levels of germinated barley on performance and egg quality in laying hen. Methods: One hundred and twenty laying hens, 44-weeks old, Lohmann LSL hens were used in this experiment. Birds were assigned randomly to the groups, each of which consisted of 20 birds (4 replicate cages each containing 5 birds). The experiment w...

Keel bone condition in laying hens: a histological evaluation of macroscopically assessed keel bones.

The objective of the present study was to conduct a corresponding histological analysis of 162 macroscopically assessed keel bones (1: severe, 2: moderate, 3: slight, 4: no deformity). Four layer lines were used and hens were kept in furnished cages, small group systems (both allowing more activities due to the provision of perches) and an aviary system, which fully conformed to the EU standard...

Air samplings in a Campylobacter jejuni positive laying hen flock.

The air in laying hen houses contains high concentrations of airborne bacteria. The numbers of these bacteria can be influenced by the efficiency of the chosen sampling method. In the presented study, AGI-30 Impingers and the Coriolis(®)µ air Sampler were compared in terms of their efficiency in sampling aerobic mesophilic bacteria in a laying hen house. Measurements were conducted in a laying ...

The effect of keel fractures on egg-production parameters, mobility and behaviour in individual laying hens

A majority of laying hens fracture their keel bones during the laying cycle. It is not easy for a farmer to identify hens with fractures and hen survival rate seems high. Thus, the effect of both recent and healed fractures on bird welfare is unclear. We aimed to investigate the impact of these keel-bone fractures on hens’ production and behaviour. The egg production, mobility and behaviour of ...
