Pecking enrichment for broiler chickens
Enhancing broiler chicken welfare with pecking-enriched environments in organic systems
or
Detail description
Environmental enrichment supporting natural pecking and foraging behaviours in broiler chickens is essential for improving welfare in intensive housing systems. This includes modifiable, consumable, organic materials. The mEATquality Practice Abstract offers on-farm implementation guidance, supported by resources from mEATquality and Organic Farm Knowledge. Linked to Horizon Europe and EIP-AGRI initiatives, these tools promote sustainable, welfare-focused poultry farming.
