Effects of the housing environment and laying hen strain on tibia and femur bone properties of different laying phases of Hy-Line hens

Milan K. Sharma et al.

Summary: The study found that laying hens raised in different housing environments, especially in free-range systems, exhibit higher tibia breaking strength and ash percentage. The strain of laying hen has a significant impact on bone density and bone composition, with the W-36 strain showing better bone properties.

Review: What are the challenges facing the table egg industry in the next decades and what can be done to address them?

J. Gautron et al.

Summary: There is a strong consumer demand worldwide for animal welfare considerations in egg production, with a major shift towards cage-free systems as well as an extension of laying periods for hens. Solutions driven by economic, societal, and sustainability goals are being pursued to address the challenges facing the egg industry.

How can housing system affect growth and carcass traits, meat quality and muscle fiber characteristics in biceps femoris and mineral content of tibia and femur bones in growing rabbits?

Ondrej Krunt et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the effect of housing system and gender on the growth performance, muscle fibers, and bone characteristics of growing rabbits. Significant interactions were found between housing system and gender, with differences observed in dressing percentage, fiber cross-sectional area, and calcium and phosphorus content in tibias. Pen housed rabbits generally showed higher values in various traits compared to cage housed rabbits, indicating the importance of housing system choice in rabbit production.

Comparison of performance parameters, stress, and immunity levels of native and commercial layers reared in different cage densities in Turkey

Ugur Ozenturk et al.

Summary: The study indicated that native Turkish laying hens showed lower production performance compared to imported commercial hybrids, but had higher growth variables. Stress and immunity levels of native hens were similar to brown foreign hybrids, while white hens had lower stress levels and higher immunity levels. Higher cage density negatively affected yield characteristics and stress levels, but did not significantly impact immunity levels.
