The welfare of broilers in the EU
Share
A white paper on the welfare of chickens raised for meat in the European Union.
The EU is a major producer of chickens reared for meat (known by the industry as broilers) and intensive farming systems account for a huge 90% of broiler production.
Unfortunately, alternative systems (alternative indoors, free-range, and organic) represent only a small proportion of total production.
In this white paper, we present a comprehensive overview of the health and welfare of these birds.
