Feeding whole grain wheat to broilers

THe BroilerNet project involves a bottom-up approach to identify challenges and innovation needs for broiler farmers in Europe, and to collect promising and already successfully implemented Good Practices to meet the challenges in questions. The top Good Practices selected by experts within the three thematic areas (animal health management, animal welfare and sustainability) have been summarized in factsheets. Feed for broiler chickens is typically delivered ready made to the broiler farmers. However, in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany, a large number of broiler farmers also mix whole wheat grains alongside more concentrated feed. The wheat is locally produced, marking a significant step towards sustainable agriculture. An additional benefit is the positive effect on gut health.
