Feed is responsible for the main part of costs in organic poultry production. Achieving the goal of 100 % organic feeding for poultry presents some challenges as it may be more difficult to achieve a balanced diet when certain protein-rich raw materials are not easily available.
Solution
This technical guide summarizes the expertise of researchers and advisors and the knowledge acquired through various research programmes about poultry feeding in organic farming.
Description
This technical guide synthesizes knowledge available about:
- The physiological mechanisms of poultry,
- Nutritional requirements and recommended intakes,
- The feeding behaviour of organic poultry,
- The nutritional value of raw materials,
- The nutritional value and possible intakes of foraging
- On-farm feed manufacturing
It also describes 100 % organic feeding strategies and expected zootechnical performances.
The guide covers specifically organic poultry production. Target groups are farmers and advisors.
