Poland is leading poultry producer in Europe, with a chicken population assessed at over 176 million animals. This paper aims to determine the theoretical and technical energy potential of chicken manure in Poland. The volume of chicken manure was assessed as 4.49 million tons per year considering three particular poultry rearing systems. The physicochemical properties of examined manure specimens indicate considerable conformity with the data reported in the literature. The results of proximate and ultimate analyses confirm a considerable effect of the rearing system on the energy parameters of the manure. The heating value of the chicken manure was calculated for the high moisture material in the condition as received from the farms. The value of annual theoretical energy potential in Poland was found to be equal to around 40.38 PJ. Annual technical potential of chicken biomass determined for four different energy conversion paths occurred significantly smaller then theoretical and has the value from 9.01 PJ to 27.3 PJ.

  • Case Study on Fridays Farm – Planting Trees to Encourage Ranging Behaviour in Laying Hens
    Case Study on Fridays Farm – planting trees to encourage ranging behaviour in laying hens Introduction Free range eggs represent over 50% of the egg sales in the UK, putting Great Britain in a unique spot when it comes to egg production. Consumer demand for better animal welfare continues to build year on year, so investing in free range/organic systems with the highest welfare potential represents the most future-proofed investment. A good range is a key element of these systems. This case study aims to demonstrate best practice in providing a good range that stimulates hens to forage outside during daytime. Ranging stimulates meaningful behaviours Ranging enhances the opportunity for birds to express their full behavioural repertoire and ensures the highest welfare potential in a system. In natural conditions hens spend 50 to 90% of their time foraging, which involves searching and scratching at the ground or litter for potential food items (seeds, earthworms, flying insects, grit), followed by investigation and selection of food items by pecking. Ranging behaviour of birds (i.e. the extent to which they utilise the outdoor area) is affected by time of day, age, feeding system, weather conditions, previous experience, genetic strain, and importantly the quality of the outdoor environment provided. Fridays Ltd A third generation family business based in the South East, Fridays has been farming for over fifty years. Today Fridays supplies eggs to supermarkets and foodservice companies across the UK. Free range egg production has been an important part of the company’s activities from the dawn of modern free range farming almost forty years ago.

  • Free-Range Poultry Production - a Review
    113 Free-range Poultry Production - A Review Z. H. Miao*, P. C. Glatz and Y. J. Ru Livestock Systems, South Australian Research and Development Institute, Roseworthy Campus Roseworthy, South Australia, Australia 5371 ABSTRACT : With the demand for free-range products increasing and the pressure on the intensive poultry industry to improve poultry welfare especially in western countries, the number of free-range poultry farms has increased significantly. The USA, Australia and European countries have developed Codes of Practice for free-range poultry farming which detail the minimum standards of husbandry and welfare for birds. However, the performance and liveability of free-range birds needs to be improved and more knowledge is required on bird husbandry, feed supply, disease control and heat wave management. This review examines the husbandry, welfare, nutrition and disease issues associated with free-range poultry systems and discusses the potential of incorporating free-range poultry into a crop-pasture rotation system. (Asian-Aust. J. Anim. Sci. 2005. Vol 18, No. 1 : 113-132) Key Words : Forage, Nutrient Requirement, Poultry Husbandry, Animal Welfare, Free-range Egg, Free-range Meat INTRODUCTION must be from flocks that are kept in the following conditions: There has been a resurgence of interest in free-range 1.

  • 'What's Wrong with High-Welfare Animal Products'
    What’s Wrong with High- Welfare Animal Products? Meat, milk and eggs produced under so-called ‘higher welfare’ schemes – including Freedom Food, free-range and organic – have become increasingly popular amongst consumers in recent years, thanks in part to high profile publicity campaigns by celebrity chefs such as Jamie Oliver and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall. These campaigns have helped bring to the attention of a mass audience, the terrible conditions and appalling suffering inside factory farms. Consequently, many people are now choosing free-range and organic labels in an attempt to reduce animal suffering and ease their consciences. But how much do these schemes really benefit found similar problems on an RSPCA-approved the animals? egg-laying farm.
