Is it possible to build a better laying hen? Perhaps so, according to University of Guelph researchers.<br /><br />During the Poultry Science Assn. annual meeting in Philadelphia earlier this week, Drs.

The results they were reporting on at PSA were largely focused on birds being house in aviaries. <br /><br />For more information, on this and other topics, we invite you to visit our websites - www.Feedstuffs.com and www.NationalHogFarmer.com.
