- A total of 240 SCWL - AA - 26 ready to lay pullets were used in the study to determine the effects of floor space allowance on egg production performance. Birds were divided into two treatments and each treatment was further subdivided into four replications. Birds in treatment I were given 1.5 sq. feet per bird floor space allowance (one bird per cage) while birds in treatment II were given 0.75 sq. feet per bird (2 birds/cage)® Results revealed that birds given 1.5 sq. feet of floor space allowance have better egg production, livability and consumed less amount of feed than the birds given 0.75 sq. foot of floor spaces. Differences, however, between the two treatments were found to be statistically insignificant. In addition to this, it was found that housing two layers in a cage can minimize housing cost by as much as 50 per cent or IP7.50 per layer.
