A Descriptive Study of Keel Bone Fractures in Hens and Roosters from Four Non-Commercial Laying Breeds Housed in Furnished Cages
SIMPLE SUMMARY: The keel bone in birds is an extension of the sternum. Fractures to the keel are common in modern laying hen breeds. Several of the proposed causal mechanisms behind keel bone fractures (KBF) are linked to selection for efficient production. It is, therefore, of interest to explore w...
