Methods for assessment of keel bone damage in poultry [PDF]
Poultry Science, 2015 Keel bone damage (KBD) is a critical issue facing the laying hen industry today as a result of the likely pain leading to compromised welfare and the potential for reduced productivity. Recent reports suggest that damage, while highly variable and likely dependent on a host of factors, extends to all systems (including battery cages, furnished cages ...

Development of an ex vivo protocol to model bone fracture in laying hens resulting from collisions. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Fractures of the keel bone, a bone extending ventrally from the sternum, are a serious health and welfare problem in free range laying hens. Recent findings suggest that a major cause of keel damage within extensive systems is collisions with internal ...
