BEM-ESTAR NA CRIAÇÃO DE POEDEIRAS COMERCIAIS

Abstract

The objective of this study was to review the literature on welfare in the creation of commercial laying hens, as well as breeding systems, according to the density regulation, providing a thermal comfort and ambience that the bird needs to physiologically present its natural state. One of the main discussions in the poultry poultry sector is the way birds are raised, in which they can hinder their development and production, and the most widespread breeding system used in Brazil is in cages, since it allows a greater number of poultry. birds per shed. A concern is also related to the ambience of the sheds of these birds, which must meet the thermal comfort that these birds require. Other practices adopted in laying hens are deboning and forced molting, but are widely discussed as a form of aggression and mutilation to the animal, to controversies about forced molting, but, in addition to economically benefiting the producer, molting avoids the early disposal of laying hens and the formation of new lots.
