However, little is known about whether accessing an outdoor range affects the welfare of broiler chickens. Therefore this project aimed to identify relationships between individual commercial free-range broiler chicken ranging behaviour and indicators of welfare, with a focus on health. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | AVPA Scientific Meeting 2017: Australian Veterinary Poultry Association Scientific Meeting, Geelong, Victoria, 15th - 17th November, 2017 | Source of Publication: | AVPA Scientific Meeting 15th - 17th November 2017: Abstract Book, p. 46-47 | Publisher: | Australian Veterinary Poultry Association | Place of Publication: | Geelong, Australia | Fields of Research (FoR) 2020: | 300306 Animal welfare | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2020: | 109902 Animal welfare 100411 Poultry |
