Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive literature review on the environment in laying hens and its impacts on egg production. To this end, a meticulous search was conducted in renowned databases, such as Google Scholar, SciELO, among others, for scientific articles that addressed the theme in question. Therefore, raising laying hens in a suitable environment is essential to guarantee productivity, egg quality, and bird welfare. By investing in modern facilities and equipment, monitoring environmental parameters, and adopting good management practices, producers can optimize egg production and achieve better results. In this context, the main points related to the environment in layer farming that can affect the success of commercial egg production were analyzed. Throughout the work, it was concluded that it is essential that the birds are raised in a suitable environment, with temperature, humidity, luminosity, ventilation, and other factors controlled within specific parameters to ensure productivity, egg quality, and bird welfare.
