Summary in the original language of the document

EPrint Type:Practice tool
Teaser:Environmental enrichment that sufficiently facilitates pecking.
What problem does the tool address?:Chickens naturally spend a lot of time foraging (including pecking). If broilers are kept in barren environments, they cannot fully satisfy these behaviours.
