In addition, conditions of shelters for dogs without taking care of basic requirements can be a source of stress. Stressful situations that endure, say for several days, may...

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of different stocking density and lighting applications on performance and tibial bone characteristics of broiler chickens. In the study, six experimental groups, each consisting of 3 replications were used with 12, 16 and 20 chickens/m² ...

The present study aimed to determine the effect of drinking water cooling and stocking density of broiler chickens reared at high ambient temperature on some welfare parameters, tonic immobility, and heterophil/lymphocyte ratio. A total of 360 1 day-old male broiler chicks were randomly assigned to ...

The aim of the study includes assessment of animal welfare using ANI 35 L system to compare different types of beef housing systems. 42 beef farms were divided into 3 sub groups according to housing type (tie stall or loose type), condition of mechanical and technical equipment and use of labour....

The present study aimed to determine the effect of light intensity and perch use of broiler on fear and stress reactions and some meat quality characteristics in broilers. A total of 270 one-day-old male broiler chicks were randomly assigned to groups based on the three different light intensity...
