Applied research note: comparison of the locomotor activity and circadian rhythm in 3 strains of laying hens as measured by tri-axial accelerometers

The objective of this study was to use tri-axial accelerometers to quantify circadian changes in the locomotor activity of 3 strains of laying hens. Animals were from either the White, Brown or Black strain of a farm that breeds free-range laying hens. Hens were fitted with commercially available se...
