Structuring Broiler Barns: How a Perforated Flooring System Affects Animal Behavior

Franziska May et al.

Summary: Broiler chickens in Europe are typically raised in unstructured barns. This study found that providing an elevated perforated floor can enhance the behavioral diversity of broiler chickens and improve animal welfare. However, the chickens spent less time on the perforated floor, indicating a need to explore methods to increase its utilization.

Influence of Using Perforated Plastic Flooring Beneath the Waterline on Growth Performance, Litter Quality, and Footpad Health of Broiler Chickens: A Field Study

Sylvan-Justin Sonnabend et al.

Summary: The standard housing method in Europe's poultry farming is to keep broilers on a littered concrete floor. A study shows that using slatted flooring beneath the waterline can improve litter quality and footpad health of the broilers, enhancing animal welfare.

An Evaluation of the Uses of Different Environmental Enrichments on a Broiler Farm with the Help of Real-Time Monitoring via a Farmer-Assistant System

Fabian Spiess et al.

Summary: This study compares and evaluates three different types of environmental enrichment for broiler birds. The results show that broilers prefer elevated platforms, followed by combined structures and perches. There were no differences in welfare and health parameters between the trial group and control group.

Effects of a Partially Perforated Flooring System on Ammonia Emissions in Broiler Housing-Conflict of Objectives between Animal Welfare and Environment?

Carolin Adler et al.

Summary: The study showed that a partially perforated flooring system in broiler housing can enhance animal welfare but may result in higher ammonia emissions towards the end of the fattening period. Despite this, the system offers new approaches for reducing ammonia emissions, potentially benefiting animal welfare and environmental protection simultaneously.

Disturbance of resting behaviour of broilers under different environmental conditions

Sara Forslind et al.

Summary: The study showed that providing elevated platforms or reducing stocking density can reduce disturbances to resting patterns of fast-growing broilers. However, the level of disturbances remains high, indicating the need for further improvements in housing conditions to enhance the rest and sleep of broiler chickens.

Effects of an Elevated Platform on Welfare Aspects in Male Conventional Broilers and Dual-Purpose Chickens

Julia Malchow et al.

Summary: This study investigates the use of elevated structures for slow-growing dual-purpose chickens and fast-growing broiler chickens, with results showing that slow-growing chickens prefer to use the platforms and exhibit better walking ability, plumage conditions, and foot health compared to fast-growing chickens.
