Impact of organic dairy cattle manure on environmental and egg microbiology of organic free-range laying hens
SUMMARY: The popularity of free-range and organic poultry has increased in recent years due to consumer demands. A study was conducted to evaluate how the presence of organic dairy cattle manure could influence the environmental and egg microbiology of organic free-range laying flocks. A flock of br...
