Eggshell structure, measurements, and quality-affecting factors in laying hens: a review (2016, background): “Marked differences between cages and free-range systems in eggshell thickness were described by Leyendecker et al. (2001b) and Hidalgo et al. (2008).”
Fatty acid composition of certified organic, conventional and omega-3 eggs (2009, result): “The magnitude of the difference in saturated fat, when comparing conventional with organic eggs, and within conventional eggs, was small and similar to that reported previously (Hidalgo et al., 2008).”
Effects of laying hens housing system on laying performance, egg quality characteristics, and egg microbial contamination (2018, background): “On the other hand, other authors reported a higher number of cracked eggs from cage systems compared to aviaries (Tauson et al. 1999), litter systems (Voslarova et al. 2006), and free range and organic systems (14% vs 10 and 5%; Hidalgo et al. 2008).”
