It outlines the consequences of malnutrition due to animal behavior and housing condition in free-range laying hens, such as increased mortality and morbidity, leading to reduced animal welfare outcomes and compromised bird performance. This paper suggests a number of practical solutions and outlines the significance of future studies on fibre intake in free range birds. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | APSS 2015: 26th Annual Australian Poultry Science Symposium, Sydney, Australia, 9th - 11th February, 2015 | Source of Publication: | Proceedings of the Australian Poultry Science Symposium, v.26, p. 242-244 | Publisher: | University of Sydney | Place of Publication: | Sydney, Australia | ISSN: | 1034-6260 1034-3466 |
