A selected line of White Leghorns that has shown improved survivability and productivity and reduced feather loss in multiple-hen cages was evaluated for production traits under both stressed and unstressed conditions. It was hypothesized that hens s

A selected line of White Leghorns, which has shown improved survivability and reduced feather loss in large multiple-hen cages, was evaluated for humoral immune response to SRBC under both stressed and unstressed conditions. Three lines of chickens (

Three stocks of White Leghorns were compared for behavioral traits when kept in single-bird (1H) and 12-hen (12H) layer-house cages. Genetic stocks consisted of a commercial strain (X), a randombred control (C), and a stock derived from C and selecte

The hypothesis was tested that selection on the basis of family means for increased survival and hen-housed egg production, when sisters with intact beaks were kept together in multiple-bird cage, would cause adaptive changes in behavior. Specificall

The effectiveness of selection for hen-days without beak-inflicted injuries was studied. The base population was known to have a high incidence of beak-inflicted injuries when pullets' beaks were intact. Data from the foundation stock yielded nonsign

The current study examined the effects of three beak treatments and three genetic stocks of White Leghorn pullets on part-year egg production and losses from cannibalistic pecking. Special attention was directed towards the consistency of beak treatm

Twenty-four crossbred gilts, averaging 4 weeks of age and 9.4 kg, were weighed and allotted to either a large pen with a space allowance of 0.8 m2 per pig or a small pen with a space allowance of 0.4 m2 per pig (12 gilts per pen). Pigs were offered f

Social behavior of poultry is discussed in general terms, variables having major effects are indicated, and frequently used techniques of measurement are presented and compared. Studies in which different variables and methods were described are pres

Experiments with pullets were conducted to determine whether beak trimming at different ages or holding time in crates would affect fearfulness, as indicated by tonic immobility (TI) tests. Beak-trimming treatments included intact-beak controls and b

Pallets of stocks derived from the North Central Randombred White Leghorn population without selection (C) or selected (S) on family performance when kept with beaks intact in multiple-hen cages were compared. Pullets had intact, one-fourth, or one-h
