Influence of rearing and adult housing of laying hens on the behaviour and stress reactivity of offspring
Mothers can influence the behaviour and physiology of their young even before hatch. In birds that occurs through the deposition of hormones and nutrients into the egg. Mother-hens can be housed in various systems that offer different challenges to the bird. Our project will investigate how housing a mother-hen can affect the resilience of their offspring. This data can be used to improve farm practices and to decrease the occurrence of behaviour and welfare issues in egg production.
