Hay for chicken – Poultry farming
The solution to welfare issues in poultry farming
In the wild, 60 to 90% of hens’ activity is devoted to food foraging and picking. In breeding the hens find themselves with a lot of free time. This results in a major welfare problem, redirected search behavior, which is expressed by feather pecking. It can lead to poor thermoregulation, reduced productivity, injury, cannibalism and sometimes death. Managing this behavior is essential for successfully driving unblunted group.
Managing this behavior is essential for successfully driving unblunted tapes. To allow hens to fully meet their foraging needs and thus reduce the risk of feather pecking, add compressed bales of straw or alfalfa to the barn. This diversity of quality food sources will help ensure the welfare and stable egg production of laying hens.
