Plumage condition was inferior in non cage systems compared to in FCS in commercial farms with non beak trimmed birds of both genotypes. As regards foot condition the NC systems were inferior toCCs and most often to the FCs. The incidence of keel bone deformities is connected to the use of perches or improper design of other places birds choose to roost on and is thus, mainly present in alternatives to CC:s. It is proposed to update the present data base at a later stage.
