Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Breeders have been continuously developing lines of long-life layers to achieve greater egg-lay per bird, and some improvements have been achieved for better egg quality. However, there are several challenges associated with the quality of egg production, hen health, and welfare issues. This Special Issue will highlight the current findings on egg production, in terms of aspects such as genetic, nutrition, housing, lighting, etc. The potential challenges include health and stress in the cage, antibiotic-free rearing systems, diseases and deformities, and poultry welfare issues.
