This review paper aims to give an overview of the literature data on
common behavioral and health problems in broiler chickens and laying hens and
to explain their interrelation and relation to the rearing system. In the
initial part, the mechanism of arising of the most common forms of abnormal
behavior and the way they affect the poultry are briefly described.
Furthermore, the possibility of poultry to fulfill behavioral needs in
different rearing systems and some of the consequences to the birds in the case
of their inability to meet their needs are displayed. The influence of the main
microclimate and space factors is also discussed, as well as the occurrence of
some infectious, parasitic and production diseases in poultry rearing systems.
The welfare problems of poultry are complexes and most often caused by the system
design and its improper use. Continuous work on improving rearing systems is as
important as better informing the producers and the public on poultry welfare
problems.
