Short- and long-term consequences of stocking density during rearing on the immune system and welfare of laying hens

open access: yesPoultry Science, 2021
: Already during early life, chickens need to cope with chronic stressors that can impair their health and welfare, with stocking density being one of the most influential factors.

Effect of stocking density on pig production [PDF]

open access: yesAfrican Journal of Biotechnology, 2011
Numerous stressors such as environmental, nutritional, pathological or equipment related ones are operative in swine facilities. Among many factors, socking density increases social stress and influences pig performance. Many studies have reported that reducing space allowance could induce decreases in growth performance of pigs.

Effect of classical music on growth performance, stress level, antioxidant index, immune function and meat quality in broilers at different stocking densities

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023
High-stocking density is one of the factors that can easily cause oxidative stress and inflammatory reaction of broilers. Currently, music therapy has been proposed to help animals relieve stress to some extent.

Utilization and grazing distribution of cattle at 4 stocking densities [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Range Management, 2003
The relationship between stocking density and grazing distribution was studied in eastern Nebraska pastures seeded to a warm-season, tall-grass mixture and grazed at 4 stocking densities: 9, 18, 27, and 54 steers ha-1. Each of 4 pastures was divided into 4 paddocks ranging in size from 0.18 to 1.12 ha.

Using spatial distribution and behaviour to determine optimal space allowances for poultry and rabbits [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Previous research on the effect of stocking density on welfare has focused on adverse effects on health and behaviour. Absence of such effects does not mean that space allowance is optimal from the animals’ point of view.

Carbon stocks in tropical forests decrease with liana density [PDF]

open access: yesBiology Letters, 2013
Tropical forests are experiencing structural changes that may reduce carbon storage potential. The recent increase in liana abundance and biomass is one such potential change. Lianas account for approximately 25 per cent of woody stems and may have a strong impact on tree dynamics because severe liana infestation reduces tree growth and increases tree ...

Impact of Zinc Supplementation and Stocking Density on Performance, Physiological and Immune Responses in Broiler Chickens [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Animal and Poultry Production, 2020
The current research was completed to examine the impacts of dietary enrichment with zinc oxide and stocking density on performance, plasma concentration of thyroid hormones, corticosterone(cort) and immune response and antioxidant status in cobb 500 ...

SEA RANCHING OF Holothuria atra: STOCKING DENSITY AND TIME [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Strong market demand, uncontrolled exploitation, and inadequate fisheries resource management have caused the overexploitation of sea cucumbers. Hence, sea ranching has been suggested as an intervention to overcome, or at least minimize, this problem ...

Factors Affecting the Incidence of Angel Wing in White Roman Geese: Stocking Density and Genetic Selection [PDF]

open access: yesAsian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2016
The present study investigated stocking density and genetic lines, factors that may alter the severity and incidence of angel wing (AW), in White Roman geese.
