Abstract: | Understanding range usage of free-range laying hens is essential to address the needs of the hens and apply feeding strategies most efficiently. While heavier hens might be of increased social status and therefore dominate range access after pop hole opening, lighter hens may still access the range at different times of the day. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of body weight on diurnal range usage and the latency to range. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | ISAE 2018: 52nd Congress of the International Society for Applied Ethology, Charlottetown, Canada, 30th July - 3th August, 2018 | Source of Publication: | ISAE 2018: Proceedings of the 52nd Congress of the International Society for Applied Ethology, p. 192-192 | Publisher: | Wageningen Academic Publishers | Place of Publication: | Wageningen, Netherlands | Fields of Research (FoR) 2020: | 300306 Animal welfare | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2020: | 100411 Poultry | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | E3 Extract of Scholarly Conference Publication | Publisher/associated links: | https://doi.org/10.3920/978-90-8686-870-4 | Description: | This research output was presented as a poster. |
