Precision Litter Moisture Management

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.

This factsheet outlines a comprehensive audit and management strategy for reducing litter moisture in broiler houses, a practice currently implemented in Greece.

Managing litter moisture is a critical “Good Practice” that simultaneously addresses bird welfare, health, and environmental sustainability.
