Effect of transport length and genotype on tonic immobility, blood parameters and carcass contamination of free-range reared chickens

Effect of transport length and genotype on tonic immobility, blood parameters and carcass contamination of free-range reared chickens

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of transport on welfare traits, several haematological parameters and carcase hygiene in two different chicken genotypes (fast- and slow-growing strains) reared under free-range conditions. For this aim, two hundred male chicks, 100 from fas...
