CAGE LAYER FATIGUE

CAGE LAYER FATIGUE

cage layer fatigue syndrome in birds is characterized by an inability to stand on their feet and fragile bones. It is mainly observed in young layer hens reared in batteries in the period of maximum egg-laying. Affected birds lie down and stopped eating. Egg shells become thin. 498.cage layer fatigue syndrome in birds is characterized by an inability to stand on their feet and fragile bones.

The calcium deficiency is layer hens results in initial removal of calcium from bones, to complete depletion of the medullary bone and thereafter, of the bone wall. The bones are strongly thinned and spontaneous fractures, especially of the tibia and the femur could occur. Although the severe calcium deficiency is often a triggering factor, the aetiology of the syndrome seems to involve other, yet unknown factors. The supplementation of calcium, phosphate and multivitamin preparations in the diet and rinking water, the regulation of avian population density into cages and ensuring adequate nutritional and drinking fronts are also contributing for the favourable outcome of the condition.
