Discuss different poultry farming systems and related five freedoms with implications to welfare of poultry birds.

Poultry farming plays a significant role in global food production, providing a primary source of meat and eggs for millions of people. However, the welfare of poultry birds has been a subject of increasing concern, given the growing demand for these products. Various poultry farming systems are in practice today, each with its own impact on the welfare of poultry birds. These systems range from traditional free-range practices to industrialized factory farming, and each system has implications for the health, well-being, and ethical treatment of birds. A major framework used to assess the welfare of animals, including poultry, is the "Five Freedoms," which outlines the basic rights animals should have to lead a life free of suffering. These five freedoms are often used to evaluate the implications of different farming systems on animal welfare.

### 1. Conventional or Intensive Poultry Farming (Battery Cages)

In conventional or intensive poultry farming, birds are typically kept in battery cages—small, confined spaces that severely limit their movement. These systems prioritize high production and efficiency, often at the expense of animal welfare. In these setups, hens are confined in small cages, unable to engage in natural behaviors such as foraging, dust-bathing, or perching. 

#### Impact on the Five Freedoms:
- Freedom from Hunger and Thirst: Birds are typically provided with adequate food and water, but access is often limited by the confinement of cages. The ability to forage, which is a natural behavior for poultry, is hindered, affecting their ability to express normal feeding behaviors.
- Freedom from Discomfort: The cramped, barren conditions of battery cages cause physical discomfort. The inability to stretch their wings or walk leads to stress and injuries such as _______ __________ ___ ____ ______ __________ __________ ______ ______ _____ __________ _____.
