However, comparative studies about the behavior of laying hens just after introduction to these housing systems are few. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the changes of location and behavior of laying hens just after introduction to three housing systems. In toral, 181 White Leghorns were used. Seventy-two birds were allocated to 12 battery cages with 3 birds per cage (613cm^2/bird) and 9 furnished cages with 4 birds per cage (1170cm^2/bird), and 109 birds were transferred to an aviary (1130cm^2/bird). Direct observations using scanning techniques were conducted over 2 weeks for 4h/day from the day following the introduction. Scan samples of location and behavior were taken at 10 min intervals. The proportion of birds that stayed at each location in the furnished cages was stable during the observation period. In the aviary, 78% of birds were observed on the floor on the first day, and thereafter the proportion linearly decreased (p<0.01). The proportions of birds eating in both the battery and furnished cages were stable, indicating that the caged birds would adjust to these environments within a short period. Aggression of birds was less in both the cages (both 0.3±0.1%) than in the aviary (3.5±1.0%, p<0.001), which means the early establishment of social order in both cage systems. In the aviary, the birds performed less eating behavior than in both the cages on the first day, and the proportion thereafter linearly increased (p<0.01), and the use of tiered wire floors with feeders accompanied this (p<0.01). Comfort behaviors, including dust-bathing, were less in the aviary than in the furnished cages throughout the observation period (both p<0.05). These results suggest that adjustment of aviary birds to their new environment had been delayed compared with caged birds because of the prerearing condition and the environmental complexity of the aviary., P(論文), 特集, application/pdf, FEATURE ARTICLES}, pages = {205--208}, title = {産卵鶏におけるケージ飼育の再評価 : 代替飼育法との比較による多面的検討}, volume = {13/14}, year = {2007}, yomi = {タナカ, トシオ and ウエタケ, カツジ and エグチ, ユウスケ} }
