Summary
Organic broiler chicken farming must meet numerous requirements, whether technical (herd management, feed management, housing, and outdoor access), zootechnical (production performance, genetics, and health), social (work schedule organization), or economic (profitability and sustainability of the operation). This technical guide is intended to provide technical and economic references to address the questions of farmers seeking to improve their systems, as well as project developers wishing to establish a broiler operation.
Summary translation
L’élevage de poulets de chair biologiques doit répondre à de nombreuses exigences qu’elles soient techniques (conduite du cheptel, gestion de l’alimentation, des bâtiments et des parcours), zootechniques (performances de production, génétique, sanitaire), sociales (organisation du temps de travail) ou encore économiques (rentabilité et viabilité de l’atelier). Ce cahier technique a pour vocation de fournir des références techniques et économiques permettant de répondre aux questionnements d’éleveurs cherchant à améliorer leurs systèmes, mais aussi des porteurs de projet souhaitant mettre en place un atelier poulets de chair.
