What ends up causing losses in production, and bringing to consumers a product of lower quality. Standards were created for the production of layers to improve conditions of well-being, these standards in a while will bring changes in our facilities. This study aimed to determine how the facility today and contribute in the production system as is the current reality in which the birds are being created.
