Summary
The objective of this call for proposals is to identify a consortium of EFSA Art 36 organizations (EC regulation 178/2002) that will fill in this gap of knowledge by achieving the following project outcomes:
- Standardized data collection protocols for broiler welfare measurements
- Field data collection on broiler welfare
- Establish a dataset with Animal Based Measures, resource-based measures and management-based measures that can inform future risks assessments
Detailed Call Description
The key objectives of this grant are:
- to produce a dataset and analyse the data from a field primary data collection of selected animal-based measures (ABMs) that measure welfare consequences of broiler chickens on farm and related contextual data including resource-based and management-based measures from different housing systems and practices in broiler chicken farms and slaughterhouses
- to conduct experiments to evaluate the impact of three interventions: changing stocking density, providing elevated platforms and dark brooders on the ABMs of broiler chickens of fast- and slower growing genotypes. The data collected from the field data collection and the experiments are to be freely accessible in an open dataset.
