Proteome and microbiota analysis reveals alterations of liver-gut axis under different stocking density of Peking ducks. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
This study aimed to determine the impact of stocking density on the liver proteome and cecal microbiota of Peking ducks. A total of 1,200 21-day-old ducks were randomly assigned to 5 stocking density groups of 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 ducks/m2, with 6 replicates

Stocking Density Affects Diet Selection [PDF]

Rangelands, 2013
On the Ground Stocking density is a powerful tool to manage grazing land resources, as demonstrated on prairie and pasture in Missouri. Utilizing different stock densities, we can achieve different goals, including affecting diet selection, weed and brush control, improving utilization and manure distribution, and even improving seed-to-soil contact ...

Fast- and slower-growing broilers respond similarly to a reduction in stocking density with regard to gait, hock burn, skin lesions, cleanliness, and performance

Poultry Science, 2023
: There is an increasing trend toward broiler production systems with higher welfare requirements. Breed and stocking density are considered key factors for broiler welfare that are often specified as criteria for such higher welfare systems. However, it

The effect of stocking density on individual broiler welfare parameters: 2. Different broiler stocking densities [PDF]

Biotechnology in Animal Husbandry, 2011
Stocking density is considered one of the most important factors for the welfare of broilers. This paper is continuation of the study in order to obtain full evaluation of the impact of different broiler stocking densities on production performance, condition of the broiler legs and body feathering, as welfare indicators but also indicators

Finding the “golden stocking density”: A balance between fish welfare and farmers' perspectives

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
The effects of stocking density on fish welfare are complex and involve many interacting parameters. This complex relationship between fish welfare, stocking density and influencing factors make it challenging to define a specific optimal (“golden ...

Effect of Stocking Density on Growth Performance, Feather Quality, Carcass Traits, and Muscle Chemical Component of Geese from 49 to 70 Days of Age

Journal of Applied Poultry Research, 2019
SUMMARY: An excessively high-stocking density can adversely influence performance, health, and welfare of geese. The optimum-stocking density also should be changed with the increase of age and weight in geese.
