Jessica Jenkins, R. L. Parsons, Morgan Hayes, Hongwei Xin, Suzanne T. Millman

Abstract

Litter use by hens was investigated by recording the number of hens moving to and from the litter in an aviary housing system. Findings showed a difference in litter use between different times and pens. These findings are being contributed as one component of a comprehensive assessment of an aviary laying hen housing system.
