Table 3.
Frequency of aggressive pecks and displacements per hen per 30-minute observation period (± standard error) averaged over the 0800 and 1700 observations periods.
Space allowance | Cage size | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
Low n = 6 | High n = 6 | Large n = 6 | Small n = 6 | |
Aggressive pecks | 0.05 ± 0.01 | 0.04 ± 0.01 | 0.04 ± 0.01 | 0.05 ± 0.01 |
Displacements | 0.14 ± 0.01a | 0.09 ± 0.01b | 0.10 ± 0.01 | 0.12 ± 0.02 |
Different superscripts indicate significantly different main effects within a row (P < 0.0005). There were no interactions between space allowance and cage size.
