Selecting laying hens adapted to cage-free systems

open access: yes, 2023
Cage rearing systems of laying hens is disappearing in Europe, in favour of cage-free systems that offer living conditions more respectful of the animals’ welfare. Hens live in groups and have access to nests for the egg-laying. Usually, laying hens have been bred in breeding programmes based on a measurement of the egg-laying in cages. The development

Development of a Solid‐Liquid Hybrid Electrolyte Composed of LiTa2PO8 and [C2mim][FSA]–Li[FSA] Ionic Liquid for Rechargeable Lithium Metal Batteries

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
LiTa2PO8 (LTPO) suffers from high interfacial resistance when paired with Li metal due to poor solid‐solid contact. Coating LTPO with an ionic liquid (IL) markedly improves interfacial stability, maintaining favorable resistance up to 2000 cycles. However, contact between IL‐coated LTPO and Li metal induces discoloration of LTPO, which is attributed to

Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae, a re-emerging pathogen: a case report in laying hens from a cage-free farm

open access: yesAustral Journal of Veterinary Sciences
Erysipelas, caused by Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae, has re-emerged as a significant threat in cage-free poultry systems. In May 2025, we investigated a sudden increase in mortality on a commercial layer farm in Chile.

4D–Printed Photothermally Actuated Soft Microgripper on an Optical Fiber Tip for Biomedical Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
In this study, we developed a light–driven soft microgripper by 3D–printing a photo–crosslinkable, temperature–responsive hydrogel with embedded silver particles onto an optical fiber tip. The microgripper actuates via photothermal effects at cell culture temperature and can gently grasp spheroids without minimal damage, offering a compact, actuator ...

Variation in litter occupancy and dust bathing patterns among layer strains following periods of litter restriction

open access: yesPoultry Science
: Producers are moving toward cage-free systems to house laying hens. These include aviary styles with multilevel wire enclosures and litter areas on the floor. In aviaries with doors hens can be confined within the tiered enclosure, which can be done to
