Environmental Complexity and Reduced Stocking Density Promote Positive Behavioral Outcomes in Broiler Chickens

SIMPLE SUMMARY: Broiler chickens are usually housed in high-density, relatively barren conditions that limit their opportunities to express natural behaviors and be active. This study aimed to investigate the effects of complex environments and stocking densities on broiler behavior. The frequency a...
