Abstract
- Intensively housed animals may become mutually destructive, with resulting detrimental effects on production. The use of a commercially available plastic device, intended to distract laying hens, was investigated and found not to have the claimed effect. The means to plan a future experiment are supplied. Intensief-behuisde diere kan onderling vernietigend wees, met nadelige gevolge vir produksie. Die gebruik van 'n kommersieel-beskikbare plastiese voorwerp wat lehenne se aandag aftrek is ondersoek. Daar is bevind dat die voorwerp nie die beweerde uitwerking het nie. Die middele om 'n toekomstige eksperirnent te heplan word verskaf.
