Abstract: The advances achieved during the development of industrial poultry farming provided rapid growth and high productivity for meat and eggs. However, amid the gains, confinement and management practices can lead to stress in production fowl compromising their health and well-being. Therefore, many producers are having to establish measures to increase animal welfare in the raising of meat and layer fowl, through appropriate management practices and the inclusion of environmental enrichment. This review aims to emphasize the importance of environmental enrichment in animal welfare and the main indicators for evaluating and causing stress in poultry.
