U of G poultry management research guides the movement to cage-free eggs to meet corporate buyers' needs
As the egg industry transitions to cage-free production, Dr. Grégoy Bédécarrats, a professor at the University of Guelph, is leading innovative research to ensure that hens in cage-free environments thrive.
By fine-tuning poultry management practices, Dr. Bédécarrats and his team are working to prevent early puberty and strengthen hens' skeletons. This will reduce the risk of injuries and improve overall bird health.
