ME = metabolizable energy; NE = net energy; DM = dry matter; RL = Rangers Light; RH = Rangers Heavy; SL = Stayers Light; SH = Stayers Heavy.

¹RL, hens with light BW which frequently access the range; RL, hens with heavy BW which frequently access the range; SL, hens with light BW which prefer to spend the majority of their time in the shed; SH, hens with heavy BW which prefer to spend the majority of their time in the shed, within a given free-range flock.
