| A major reason for increased societal popularity of organic production systems is the growing general discontent with intensive farming practices. However, urbanization leads to limited knowledge of farming and farm animal welfare. Consumers believe organic farming leads to better animal welfare, although most health and welfare issues seen in conventional systems are also found in organic poultry systems. The majority of consumers do not translate attitude and good intention into action, the actual purchase of organic products. Understanding this intention-behaviour gap may lead to increased sales of organic products.

| Het Europese onderzoeksproject ‘Healthy Hens’ keek in acht landen welke managementfactoren en houderijomstandigheden in de biologische legpluimveehouderij bijdragen aan diergezondheid, welzijn en uitloopgebruik. Gedurende het driejarig project werden 114 biologische legbedrijven bezocht in Oostenrijk, België, Denemarken, Duitsland, Italië, Nederland, Zweden en Engeland. De resultaten zijn vertaald naar praktische aanbevelingen op het gebied van worminfecties, pikkerij, ontstekingen aan de voetzolen, vervormingen en breuken van het borstbeen en het uitloopgebruik. Het merendeel van de resultaten is ook voor gangbare bedrijven relevant. Over het project dat september vorig jaar afsloot, verschijnen momenteel artikelen in (wetenschappelijke) tijdschrijften.... |
