Summary<\/span>
Selected haematological and biochemical indices and behaviour patterns were monitored in cage-housed pheasant hens during the peak-of-lay egg laying period. Lower counts of monocytes (p = 0.0\ufeff5) and concentrations of plasma biopterin (p = 0.020) and higher concentrations of plasma neopterin (p = 0.005) and plasma phosphorus (p = 0.025) were found in spectacles-fitted pheasant hens kept in conventional cages compared to non-spectacled hens kept in enriched cages. Even more pronounced effects of the housing system were revealed by analysis of the behaviour of pheasant hens: spectacles-fitted pheasant hens kept in conventional cages exhibited higher occurrences of movement (p = 0.045), stereotyped behaviour (p = 0.0\ufeff9), and aggression (p = 0.004), and lower rates of feeding (p = 0.009), drinking (p lt; 0.001), defecation (p = 0.0\ufeff8), preening (p = 0.01\ufeff), and feather pecking (p lt; 0.001). Our results show that the relatively easy and inexpensive enrichment of the cage environment (two perches, a simple hideout) where breeding groups of common pheasants are housed during the laying period can significantly contribute to the health and welfare (including the ability to express natural behaviour patterns) of pheasants kept in commercial cage systems.<\/p>

Die Untersuchung richtete sich auf ausgew\u00e4hlte h\u00e4matologische und biochemische Indikatoren und Verhaltensweisen in der Periode des H\u00f6hepunktes der Eiablage bei in K\u00e4figen gehaltenen Fasanenhennen. Bei Hennen mit Schnabelaufsatz in konventioneller K\u00e4fighaltung wurde im Vergleich zu den Hennen ohne Schnabelaufsatz in angereicherten K\u00e4figen eine geringere Anzahl der Monozyten (p = 0,0\ufeff5) und der Konzentration plasmatischen Biopterins (p = 0,020) sowie eine h\u00f6here Konzentration des plasmatischen Neopterins (p = 0,005) und Phosphors (p = 0,025) festgestellt. Ein noch deutlicherer Einfluss der Einstallungsart wurde bei der Verhaltensanalyse der Fasanenhennen ermittelt: Die in konventionellen K\u00e4figen gehaltenen Hennen mit Schnabelaufsatz zeigten einen h\u00e4ufigeren Bewegungsdrang (p = 0,045), stereotypes Verhalten (p = 0,0\ufeff9) und Aggression (p = 0,004) sowie eine geringere H\u00e4ufigkeit der Futteraufnahme (p = 0,009), Fl\u00fcssigkeitsaufnahme (p lt; 0,001), Def\u00e4kation (p = 0,0\ufeff8), Federpflege (p = 0,01\ufeff) und gegenseitigen Federfressens (p lt; 0,001).
