Nest acceptance, clutch, and oviposition traits are promising selection criteria to improve egg production in cage-free system

In cage-free systems, laying hens must lay their eggs in the nests. Selecting layers based on nesting behavior would be a good strategy for improving egg production in these breeding systems. However, little is known about the genetic determinism of nest-related traits. Laying rate in the nests (LRN...
