Article Synopsis
- The study examined how different flooring systems (fully littered, fully slatted, and various combinations) affected growth and meat quality in broiler chickens over six weeks.
- Results showed that chickens in the 1/3 littered + 2/3 slatted group had the highest body weight at slaughter, while fully slatted chickens had the worst feed conversion ratio.
- Meat quality analysis revealed that partially slatted systems led to lighter, redder, and yellower breast meat, but overall carcass characteristics and incidences of meat defects were not significantly affected by the floor treatments.
