Research into more animal-friendly catching and loading of broilers and reformed laying hens
The advantages and disadvantages of the alternative catching and loading method are evaluated at the same time in terms of labor, production losses, animal welfare and social acceptance.Research approachThe current catching methods for broilers and layers are documented (WP1).

The welfare of broiler chickens produced in Brazil versus Belgium
In this project we are studying and comparing the welfare of broiler chickens that have been produced locally (Flanders) to that of broilers imported to the European market from South Brazil.
Optimizing the use of the free range as the key to improve organic chicken production
Four groups of slow growing Sasso broilers (trial 1) and 2 x 2 groups of Novogen Brown laying hens (trial 2) were housed in mobile coops with access to two types of vegetation area (short rotation coppice and grassland with small hazelnut trees).
Optimal cultivation of protein crops for poultry feeding
With regard to the reduction of anti-nutritional components from the seeds, in Flanders we do have processing techniques for the leguminous plants separately, but not for mixed crops and certainly not yet for matching their use with laying hens and broilers in both conventional and organic production systems.

Welfare Improving monitoring Solutions for cHickens
The aim is to investigate and design innovative (i) sensor technology innovations to monitor broiler behavior, (ii) machine learning solutions to automatically derive health and productivity indicators of the broilers and (iii) enrichment solutions, including adaptive lighting and perching solutions which can be steered to autonomously and simultaneously
