Illuminating Solutions for Reducing Mislaid Eggs of Cage-Free Layers

open access: yesAgriEngineering, 2023
Social dynamics and lighting conditions influence floor egg-laying behavior (FELB) in hens. Hens prefer to lay eggs in darker areas, leading to mislaid eggs in cage-free systems. Consistent lighting is crucial to prevent mislaid eggs, but equipment obstructions can result in a dark floor area.

Environmental sampling methods' influence on detection of pathogens in cage-free aviary housing. [PDF]

open access: yesPoult Sci, 2023
The environmental sampling of layer housing systems is essential to identifying potential pathogens that are of concern to human health. To identify the natural occurrence of pathogens (Listeria, Campylobacter, and Salmonella) at various locations in a cage-free aviary housing system, swabs were collected when hens were 22 to 39 wks of age.

Monitoring the ramp use of cage-free laying hens with deep learning technologies. [PDF]

open access: yesPoult Sci
Mislaid eggs are management and economic challenges in Cage-free (CF) housing systems, producing about 10-15 % floor eggs, although approximately 40 % of table egg laying hens are now in CF production systems. Ramps may ease the use of nesting boxes by minimizing physical extension to hens, thereby reducing floor eggs, and increasing the number of eggs
