The effects of three different furnished cage systems on the production, egg quality, bone strength, claw length, and keel bone status traits for two different laying hen strains were examined. Brown hens had significantly higher egg production per hen housed, cracked eggs, feed conversion, egg weight and humerus breaking strength than white hens. Also, brown hens had shorter claws than white hens. White hens had more dirty eggs, higher shell density, and fewer keel bone deformities than brown hens. With respect to the cage system, the egg production per average hen housed was higher in the Aviplus system compared to the other systems. However, shell thickness and density were lower in the Aviplus system. Humerus strength was higher in the Aviplus system compared to the Eurovent 625a system; but tibia strength did not differ among the three systems. The shortest claws occurred in the Aviplus system, and the fewest keel bone deformities occurred in the Eurovent 625a system. In summary, the furnished cages showed similar results as conventional cages with respect to production and egg quality. Bone strength was significantly greater in conventional cages. The claw shortening devises in the furnished cages worked to keep claws short. However, the extensive use of perches in the furnished cages seem to have caused an increase in keel bone deformities.
