Microbiome and biological blood marker changes in hens at different laying stages in conventional and cage free housings

With the majority of conventional cage (CC) laying facilities transitioning into cage-free (CF) systems in the near future, it is important to characterize biological markers of health in layers housed in commercial housings for sustainable production. The objectives of this study were to compare i)...
