Uittreksel
Keel bone damage (KBD) is a critical issue
facing the laying hen industry today as a result
of the likely pain leading to compromised welfare and
the potential for reduced productivity. Recent reports
suggest that damage, while highly variable and likely
dependent on a host of factors, extends to all systems
(including battery cages, furnished cages, and non-cage
systems), genetic lines, and management styles. Despite
the extent of the problem, the research community remains
uncertain as to the causes and influencing factors
of KBD. Although progress has been made investigating
these factors, the overall effort is hindered by
several issues related to the assessment of KBD, including
quality and variation in the methods used between
research groups. These issues prevent effective comparison
of studies, as well as difficulties in identifying the
presence of damage leading to poor accuracy and reliability.
The current manuscript seeks to resolve these
issues by offering precise definitions for types of KBD,
reviewing methods for assessment, and providing recommendations
that can improve the accuracy and reliability
of those assessments.
