Volume 13, Issue 4 , December 2022, , Pages 461-467

Abstract
  This study aimed to determine the effects of in-feed inclusion of humic substances (HS) and/or calcium carbonate (CaCO3) on the performance and welfare of laying hens. A total number of 144 Hy-Line Brown laying hens (55 weeks old) were randomly assigned to four treatments, T1–T4 (36 birds per treatment). ...  Read More

Volume 13, Issue 4 , December 2022, , Pages 475-480

Abstract
  Despite being important, there are no equations for prediction of ionized calcium (iCa) in sheep and cattle. The objectives of this study were i) to create equations for the calculation of serum iCa concentration based on the serum concentrations of total calcium (tCa), albumin (Alb) and total proteins ...  Read More

Anna Dedousi; Mirjana Đukić Stojčić; Evangelia Sossidou

Volume 11, Issue 4 , December 2020, , Pages 299-304

Abstract
  The aim of this study was to investigate whether keel bone damage is prevalent in laying hens in Greece. The study was conducted in three industrial farms using different housing systems: (a) enriched cages, (b) floor system, and (c) free-range system. One hundred hens per housing system, randomly selected, ...  Read More
