S83 Egg Shell Colour in Free Range Laying Hens
Loss of shell colour in brown-egg layers is a shell quality issue in Australia and is periodically associated with free range egg production. This study investigated the loss of shell colour that occurs in some flocks of free range laying hens. Hens laying pale-coloured egg shells on a commercial free range farm were transferred to cages in an experimental facility. Egg quality was measured imm...
متن کاملRanging Behaviour of Commercial Free-Range Laying Hens.
In this study, the range use and behaviour of laying hens in commercial free-range flocks was explored. Six flocks were each visited on four separate days and data collected from their outdoor area (divided into zones based on distance from shed and available resources). These were: apron (0-10 m from shed normally without cover or other enrichments); enriched belt (10-50 m from shed where reso...

متن کاملA foveal 3D laser scanner integrating texture into range data
In the meantime the acquisition of dense point clouds or triangulated surface data with 3D laser range scanners is in the meantime a widely discussed topic. Especially in the areas of world modelling or autonomous navigation reliable 3D data is necessary. Mobile systems applications like collision avoidance or simultaneous localisation and mapping (SLAM) require high data rates, dense point clo...
متن کاملFree Range Hens Use the Range More When the Outdoor Environment Is Enriched
To evaluate the role of using forage, shade and shelterbelts in attracting birds into the range, three trials were undertaken with free range layers both on a research facility and on commercial farms. Each of the trials on the free range research facility in South Australia used a total of 120 laying hens (Hyline Brown). Birds were housed in an eco-shelter which had 6 internal pens of equal si...
