NordCAW Conference 2024 on Poultry Welfare
November,13th 2024, Uppsala, Sweden
On November,13th 2024, Anja B. Riber participated in the NordCAW Poultry Welfare Conference 2024, at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) in Uppsala, Sweden.
Her oral communication was entitled "What’s on the European poultry welfare agenda". The talk addressed specific poultry welfare topics that are currently of interest to many EU stakeholders, including growth rate of broilers, on-farm hatching; male layer chicks, keel bone fracture, end-of-cage age, mutilation, enrichment and assessment of positive welfare.
The conclusions were that:
1) topics important to the welfare of poultry in the EU are discussed,
2) there are, not surprisingly, some gaps of knowledge,
3) solutions for improving poultry welfare often exist, but progress still seems slow likely because of the clash with other interests, such as economy and the climate change agenda.
The presentation was part of the subactivity 1.1 Network building.
