Description

In the present study, we hypothesized that the length of the sampling interval could affect the results and, consequently, the conclusions drawn and the interpretations made about poultry behavior. Therefore, we evaluated the reliability, accuracy, and  validity of three different sampling intervals (i.e., 10, 15, and 30 minutes) for the behavioral observations of broiler chickens.
