What is happening?
Join us for the second Tech x FAW group discussion! This month, we will be discussing reducing keel bone damage in laying hens.
The topic
Keel bone injuries are very common for hens in cage-free environments. While estimates vary, it seems likely that over 50% of hens in these environments are affected. Injury rates seem to be responsive to the design/layout of the environment, nutrition, and management/rearing. This topic has been studied extensively, yet remains a huge issue. Let’s take some time to consolidate information about the state of current efforts, identify bottlenecks, and share ideas.
