2.2.2.1.2 -Poultry

The innovations selected for on-farm trials in low-input outdoor and organic poultry production systems were:

  • On farm hatching of slow growing chicks, in France and Germany (here comparing also different hatch holders performance)
  • Rearing dual-purpose (DP) genotypes (Denmark, France and Germany – males and females of DP genotypes, the Netherlands – Layers with a covered veranda and environmental enrichments, Italy – Broilers with environmental outdoor enrichments)
