  2. ANIMAL WELFARE & BROILER CHICKEN PRODUCTION SYSTEMS (CHAPTER 7.10) • Definition • Scope • Criteria or measurables for the welfare of broilers • Recommendations

  3. OTHER CHAPTERS OF OIE TERRESTRIAL CODE RELATED TO AW OF BROILERS • Transport of animals by land • Transport of animals by sea • Transport of animals by air • The slaughter of animals for human consumption • The killing of animals for disease control purposes

  4. ANIMAL WELFARE & BROILER CHICKEN PRODUCTION SYSTEMS (CHAPTER 7.10) • Definitions (Art. 7.10.1) • Chicken Broiler • means a bird of the species Gallus gallus kept for commercial meat production. • Poultry kept in village or backyard flocks are not included. • Harvesting • means the catching and loadingof birds on farm for transportation to the slaughterhouse/abattoir

  5. SCOPE (ART. 7.10.2) • from arrival of day old birds on the farm to harvesting the broilers in commercial production systems • cover broilers kept in cages, on slatted floors, litter or dirt and indoors or outdoors

  6. OUTCOME BASED MEASURES

  7. CRITERIA FOR THE WELFARE OF BROILERS (ART. 7.10.3) - Mortality, morbidity and culling - Gait - Contact dermatitis - Feather conditions - Incidence of diseases, metabolic disorders and parasitic infestation Behavior Water and Feed consumption Performance Injury rate Eye condition Vocalization

  8. GAIT AND LAMENESS

  9. CONTACT DERMATITIS

  10. CONTACT DERMATITIS

  11. BREAST BLISTERS

  12. FEATHER CONDITIONS

  13. STOCKING DENSITIS AND CONTACT DERMATITIS

  14. INCIDENCE OF DISEASE - ASCITES • The term "ascites" refers to the fluid accumulation in abdominal cavity or in chest area. • The disease is more scientifically known as pulmonary hypertension syndrome. • Diagnosed at 4 - 5 weeks of age. Total mortality due to ascites is higher in the male parent lines, which have the capability of faster growth

  15. ENVIRONMENT AND MANAGEMENT • Thermal environment • Lighting • Air quality • Flooring, bedding, resting surfaces and litter quality • Stocking density • Outdoor areas • Protection from predators

  16. LIGHT REGIME

  17. LIGHT MANGEMENT • Continuous light produce low level of activity in broiler flocks throughout the day; the flock does not develop a circadian activity pattern • Alternating Light-Dark-Rhythms lead to increased activity in the light phases but do not increase the total activity

  18. LIGHT MANAGMENT Gain of increased light regime - 25 grams / per bird or 1% % of weight Culls in different light regime - 1,6 % increase in culled birds

  19. LITTER QUALITY

  20. STOCKING DENSITIS AND CONTACT DERMATITIS / LITTER QUALITY

  21. Stocking density

  22. WELFARE QUALITY ASSESSMENThttp://www.welfarequalitynetwork.net
