The palpation cage provides easy access to the rear of animals for such practices as castration, pregnancy checking and artificial insemination. The palpation cage should be large enough to provide easy access to the animal and have a door that will swing away from the chute and latch across the alley.

À l'époque où la production en cage était interdite au Danemark, une race hybride de pondeuses au sol à production élevée, la Skalborg Hybrid, a été développée. Aussitôt que l'interdiction danoise sur les systèmes de cage a été levée en 1979, l'intérêt a disparu en même temps que cette lignée. Aujourd’hui, si l'excellente pondeuse au sol Skalborg avait été conservée, cet environnement de production aurait constitué un avantage. Toutefois, après de nombreuses générations de sélection dans des conditions de production en cage, les animaux sont probablement moins aptes à la production au sol. 2, record 11, French, - pondeuse%20au%20sol

The jacket and swivel tethering system facilitates animal movement, yet permits sampling or protection of instrumentation and equipment. It allows much greater movement and permits simultaneous fluid sampling, drug infusion, and electronic measuring and monitoring. The tethered animal can be maintained comfortably and humanely for months, while fully instrumented. The light weight and flexibility of the tether, combined with the low friction of the swivel, inhibits very little of the animal's normal cage activity. 1, record 12, English, - jacket%20and%20swivel%20tethering%20system
