Abstract
To evaluate the utility of transect sampling for assessing animal welfare in large chicken flocks, we quantified relationships between environmental inputs, welfare problems detected using transect sampling, and production outcomes. We hypothesised that environmental inputs including environmental complexity (i.e....
This study compared the efficacy of two combination coccidiostat products. Broilers that received Monimax outperformed the other group in terms of zootechnical performance and coccidiosis lesion scores.
