In Switzerland, France and The Netherlands 257 farmers keeping free ranging laying hens (organic and conventional) were interviewed with regard to genotype of the hens, management conditions and performance. In total, 21 different genotypes were present on the farms. The overall effect of system (organic vs. conventional) on egg production and mortality was significant, with higher mortality and lower egg production among organic hens. White hens tended to perform better and have a better feather cover than brown hens. Silver hens appeared to have a higher mortality and lower production per hen housed. In group discussions, farmers preferred a more robust, heavier hen with good intake capacity and good persistence. In organic systems, this hen type is more... |

In de biologische veehouderij is behoefte aan een minder 'chemische' en meer 'natuurlijke' benadering van ziekten. Wanneer gekozen moet worden voor een complementaire geneeswijze, wordt die keus bemoeilijkt door het grote scala aan geneeswijzen, allemaal met bijpassend gedachtegoed. Eén uitgangspunt voor het kiezen van een geneeswijze kan zijn hoe wilde dieren met ziekte en gezondheid omgaan. Er zijn talloze voorbeelden gedocumenteerd hoe wilde dieren met ziekten omgaan, bijvoorbeeld door het eten van geneeskrachtige planten of andere medicinale grondstoffen. Dit principe wordt zelfmedicatie genoemd, waarvan zowel preventieve als curatieve voorbeelden bekend zijn. Fytotherapie is een geneeswijze die gebaseerd is op geneeskrachtige planten en zou,... |

In Europe, over 4 million laying hens and 1.8 million broilers are kept according to the organic principles. Although the regulations are the same for every country, there is a large diversity in farm sizes and farming systems. In Switzerland, 220.000 laying hens are kept on 2100 farms, while in the Netherlands 700.000 hens are kept on 130 farms. In Switzerland, mean mortality is 8%, in the Netherlands mean mortality is 11%, mainly caused by infectious diseases. Regarding animal welfare, feather pecking is seen in 70% of the Dutch and in 50% of the Swiss flocks. Feather pecking has usually started during the rearing period. The main challenges for the future are reducing the vulnerability to diseases and decreasing the amount of feather pecking. In this... |

Free range and organic systems provide different circumstances for laying hens than closed houses or cages, where most hens are selected in. An enquiry and farm visits were done in The Netherlands, Switzerland and France in order to find out what genotypes are being used and how they perform. There are differences between countries, systems (organic vs free range) and groups of breeds. There is not just one genotype suitable for organic and free range systems. |

In the HealthyHens project we investigated laying hen health and welfare in organic poultry systems in eight European countries. This leaflet presents our findings and recommendations. Most of our recommendations are also relevant for conventional poultry systems. |

Een ongewenst hoge aanvoer van mineralen zou een nadeel kunnen zijn van buiten lopende kippen. Als onderdeel van het project ‘Uitloop Gezond en Groen’ , van 2006 tot 2008 uitgevoerd door de Biologische Pluimveehouders Vereniging, Agro Eco, Louis Bolk Instituut en Ringadvies, zijn in de uitloop van vier bedrijven bodemmetingen gedaan aan met name fosfaat, stikstof en zware metalen. Daarnaast is gekeken naar de opvang van mineralen met strooisel in de uitloop en zijn fosfaatbalansen van twee bedrijven opgesteld. Er is sprake van aanvoer van mineralen: nabij de stallen worden hogere gehaltes aan fosfaat en zware metalen gevonden dan verder weg. In de loop van de twee jaar kon echter geen toename in fosfaatgehalte van de grond gemeten worden waar dat uit... |

This paper explores the potential of utilising robust crops and livestock for improving sustainability of agriculture. Two approaches for dealing with unwanted fluctuations that may influence agricultural production, such as diseases and pests, are discussed. The prevailing approach, which we call the ‘Control Model’, is to protect crops and livestock from disturbances as much as possible, to regain balance with monitoring and intervention and to look for add-on solutions only. There are a number of problems associated with the Control Model, including reduced animal welfare, environmental pollution and low public support. An alternative approach, which we call the ‘Adaptation Model’, is based on reducing the consequences of disturbances rather than taking... |

Farm-level factors that could be associated with feather pecking of layers kept in organic farming systems were monitored in 63 flocks from 26 farms located in different areas of The Netherlands. Data on housing and management practices were collected and plumage damage as a measure of feather pecking was scored at 50 weeks of age or older. No or little plumage damage was found in 18 (29%) flocks, moderate damage in 12 (19%) flocks and severe damage in 33 (52%) flocks. A high percentage of hens in the flock using the outdoor run, a young age at purchase and an increasing number of cockerels present in the flock were found to significantly decrease feather pecking damage at 50 weeks or older. Factors associated with increased usage of the outdoor run were... |
