Abstract
Susceptibility of caged layers to osteoporosis and cage layer fatigue has generated interest in newer housing systems that favor increased load-bearing activities. However, high incidences of fractures incurred during lay period have been reported in these newer systems. This study is aimed at determining the housing and strain effects on bone properties: dry weight, percentage ash content, cortical density (CBD), cortical thickness (CBT), and...
