Center for Proper Housing: Poultry and Rabbits (ZTHZ)

The Center for Proper Housing of Poultry and Rabbits (ZTHZ), a joint venture between the University of Bern and the Federal Food Safety and Veterinary Office, focuses on all aspects of housing and welfare for commercial poultry and rabbit production. Our work is applied in terms of its ultimate objective, though we have a strong focus on understanding the basic mechanisms to drive the search for practical solutions.

  • Promoting the longevity of laying hens in practice
  • Improving the transition between rear and lay environment of laying hens
  • Welfare of laying hens during the depopulation process. 
  • Validation of automated welfare assessment for poultry
  • Investigating the causes of piling behaviour in laying hens
  • Behavioral development and variation in movement patterns across laying hens
  • Examining the relationship of social dynamics, behaviour, and biology of laying hens
  • HenTrack: Using individual movement and location patterns to improve the genetic selection of commercial laying hens
  • Exploration of sensor-based behavioural observation for individual laying hens and broiler breeders
  • Developing artificial stimuli to encourage earlier use of ramps in the early life of laying hens
