Résumé
Organic egg production Organic egg production has substantially increased over the last years and in some EU states gained considerable significance. A critical challenge for its further development is the ability to document a high level of animal health and welfare. Currently there are a number of health and welfare problems of mostly multifactorial nature. An epidemiological study will help to better understand these problems and address risk factors. Expected benefits of the project Resulting recommendations will help organic egg producers to further develop bird health and welfare according to the organic principles, and to enhance economic competitiveness through improved bird health and performance. Efficient management strategies will improve the current health and welfare status of organic hens, as well as to reduce nutrient build up in the surrounding environment. The HealthyHens project aims This project focuses on disease management, animal welfare and impacts on the environment on organic laying hen farms, as organic husbandry poses special challenges and has to fulfill high expectations in these areas. Major risk factors will be identified in eight participating countries: Germany, Austria, Denmark, Italy, UK, The Netherlands, Sweden and Belgium.
