Their research project entitled: An alternative to beak trimming in laying hens-Shellac coating treatment.
Their project devised an alternative way of treating laying hens’ beaks to reduce harmful feather pecking that occurs between hens. Course manager, Dr Moira Harris said: “Their new treatment would contribute towards reducing the need for invasive beak trimming.”
