The effect of laying hen strain on perching biomechanics and keel deviations

SUMMARY: Keel bone damage (KBD), including deviations and fractures, is a welfare concern in laying hens leading to pain and decreased egg production. Shifting towards alternative housing systems has highlighted a need to evaluate how laying hen strain and perch shape contributes to perching biomech...
