Summary in the original language of the document

The tool provides technical animal husbandry advice to support change in poultry production system to avoid the culling of day-old male chicks using dual-purpose poultry genotypes.
Practical recommendations address specific needs and suggest management solutions best fit to achieve a high level of welfare rearing dual-purpose poultry genotypes: design of indoor and outdoor facilities, enrichments, monitoring of performance parameters, innovative marketing strategies and collaborations.

EPrint Type: Practice tool
Teaser: Choose dual purpose poultry and avoid culling day-old male chicks.
What problem does the tool address?: Animal welfare is an important factor for consumers’ acceptance of products (eggs, meat) from organic and low-input poultry production systems. There is an increasing concern and awareness about the ethical aspects of killing of one-day-old male chicks from pure layers strains.
What solution does the tool offer?: Implementing dual-purpose genotypes, where females can be used for both eggs and meat production and males for meat production makes the overall dual-purpose concept more sustainable. Dual-purpose females often have a lower egg production than efficient egg layers, but the males are expected to have an acceptable growth for meat production with a compromise between the performance of females and males.
