While egg-laying animals create self-contained environments, mammals need much more energy to develop therefore have to be live-fed.

At least they're not shredded in a big blender like the male chicks of egg-laying chicken breeds are.

These companies have golden egg-laying geese products and 15% more or less productivity won't make a big difference in making or breaking the market for them.

Think egg-laying hens and ducks, milk-producing cows and goats, etc.

Only milk cows and egg-laying hens will remain, along with a small population grown specifically for slaughter, for those perverts that prefer natural, pasture-grown certified organic meat.

They've been acutely aware since Day 1 that that is how an OS is made or broken, it's in their DNA, and I don't think they're going to kill that golden egg-laying goose anytime soon.

After laying about 300 eggs, her bones leached of calcium and often unable to walk, an egg-laying hen is killed for her flesh just a year after she is born.

The stress of being treated as egg-laying machines causes hens to peck at themselves and others, ripping out feathers and eyes, a behavior that is unheard of in chickens raised outside of captivity.

"OMG egg-laying mammal!" ), and you're tempted to throw out the whole classification system, even though it mostly works, and the errors are merely distracting from the inherent truth of the idea (that we're all related by genetic phylogeny; we literally share implementation ).
