Reduced bone formation and increased bone resorption drive bone loss in Eimeria infected broilers
Coccidiosis is an economically significant disease in the global poultry industry, but little is
known about the mechanisms of bone defects caused by coccidiosis; thus, the study focused …

Environmental complexity positively impacts affective states of broiler chickens
Affective state can bias an animal's judgement. Animals in positive affective states can
interpret ambiguous cues more positively (“optimistically”) than animals in negative affective …

Assessing animal welfare: a triangulation of preference, judgement bias and other candidate welfare indicators
To assess the welfare of captive animals, validated measures, so-called 'welfare indicators',
are required. We used a triangulation approach to investigate the extent to which different …
