A comparison of the shell strength of eggs from battery and deep‐litter units

Pages 419-421 | Published online: 08 Nov 2007
 

Synopsis

The investigation involved 966 light‐hybrid pullets, 366 accommodated in battery cages and 600 kept on deep litter. Samples of their eggs were taken at four stages during the laying year for measurement of shell strength by the deformation technique. The results of these measurements were very similar for eggs produced under the two systems of housing.
