In pursuit of a better broiler: A comparison of the inactivity, behavior, and enrichment use of fast- and slower-growing broiler chickens

This study compares inactivity, behavior, and enrichment use in fast- and slower-growing broiler chickens, finding that faster-growing strains are more inactive and use enrichment less, especially at younger ages.
