Development of an Ex Vivo Protocol to Model Bone Fracture in Laying Hens Resulting from Collisions
Fractures of the keel bone, a bone extending ventrally from the sternum, are a serious health and welfare problem in free range laying hens. Recent findings suggest that a major cause of keel damage within extensive systems is collisions with internal housing structures, though investigative efforts...
