Papers from Christine J Nicol's perspective

Ordered by how strongly the researchers Christine J Nicol trusts endorse each paper. Same corpus, a different order for every researcher.

1. A cross-sectional study of the prevalence of vent pecking in laying hens in alternative systems and its associations with feather pecking, management and disease

3. Farm level factors associated with feather pecking in organic laying hens
4. Influence of farm factors on the occurrence of feather pecking in organic reared hens and their predictability for feather pecking in the laying period
5. The effect of stocking density, flock size and modified management on laying hen behaviour and welfare in a non-cage system
6. The risk factors affecting the development of gentle and severe feather pecking in loose housed laying hens
7. Animal welfare in poultry production systems: impact of EU standards on world trade
8. Management and housing systems for layers – effects on welfare and production
