These results highlight the need to integrate environmental outcomes when guiding future transitions toward non-cage egg production, the authors say. @royalsocietypublishing.org @ox.ac.uk royalsocietypublishing.org/rsos/article...

Image description: a basket full of eggs with written text to its right side. text on image: The research highlights important trade-offs between different types of egg production, but it is not calling for a return to caged farming.

Findings suggest that transitioning to cage-free systems without also improving factors such as mortality and feed efficiency is likely to increase environmental impacts.

The authors find that although cage-free systems may align more closely with public concern for hen welfare, they may also require larger hen populations and could increase environmental pressures.
