Summary The diet of young Red Grouse was studied from the crop contents of 211 chicks caught on a moor in northeast Scotland. The food was more varied than that of adults, but shoot tips of heather usually formed at least 75% (by dry weight) of their

The purpose of this experiment was to provide information relevant to the current debate concerning the optimisation of terminal stocking density for commercial broiler production. In a modern, controlled-environment house with 24 floor pens (each 11

1. In recent years, the UK egg industry has become increasingly dependent on plant protein sources, in particular soyabean meal, and it has been suggested that this trend (and/or the concomitant absence of animal protein in layer diets) might be caus

1. As part of a programme investigating the causation of pecking damage in fowls, this experiment tested a proposal that birds may receive more feather pecks when their plumage colour contrasts with floor litter colour, because litter particles on pl

1. This study investigated relationships between the timing of stress, duration of oviposition delays and consequences for eggshell quality, in 2 experiments with ISA Brown hens. 2. Periods of up to 6 h of environmental stress (relocation from an ind

The preferences of broiler and layer strains of fowl for four different intensities of incandescent luminaire (6, 20, 60 and 200 lux; Osram, 60W, pearl) were tested at 2 and 6 weeks of age. With each strain, four replicates of 12 birds were each allo

Growing parent stock (breeders) of meat-type chickens (broilers), subjected routinely to chronic food restriction, show increased pacing before a single daily meal and increased drinking and pecking at non-food objects (oral stereotypies) afterwards.

1. This study investigated effects of plastic anti-pecking devices on food intake and behaviour to assess their applicability in commercial layer flocks. 2. In experiment 1, 72 individually caged ISA Brown pullets were fitted at 16 weeks of age (poin

Possible welfare benefits of qualitative rather than quantitative food restriction were investigated with growing female broiler breeder chickens (Ross 1). In Experiment 1, body-weight gains from 2 to 6 weeks of age were compared among different diet
