Abstract: | Free range poultry production is often perceived as a welfare friendly production system since it provides an outdoor range (OR) that allows the birds to express their full range of natural behaviours. However, a significant proportion of birds never use the OR and this could partly be due to individual characteristics of the animals. The aim of this study was to characterize personality traits of laying hens with different levels of OR use. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | ISAE 2014: 48th Congress of the International Society for Applied Ethology, Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain, 29th July - 2nd August, 2014 | Source of Publication: | Moving on: Proceedings of the 48th Congress of the International Society for Applied Ethology (ISAE 2014), p. 89-89 | Publisher: | Wageningen Academic Publishers | Place of Publication: | Wageningen, Netherlands | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 070201 Animal Breeding | Fields of Research (FoR) 2020: | 300305 Animal reproduction and breeding | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 830311 Sheep - Wool 830310 Sheep - Meat |
