How commercial chicken housing is improving livestock conditions

The welfare and productivity of poultry largely depend on the conditions in which they are housed. Poor living conditions can lead to stress, disease, and a reduction in productivity, negatively impacting the success of poultry farming businesses.

In the UK, over one billion chickens are slaughtered for meat each year. However, more than 90% of these chickens are raised in suboptimal conditions, often overcrowded, poorly ventilated, and lacking opportunities for natural behaviours like perching, scratching, or nesting. Such living conditions can significantly impact their health and overall productivity.

Commercial chicken housing solutions aim to address these challenges, providing efficient, safe, and sustainable environments that promote the welfare of chickens while improving operational efficiency. These housing solutions are essential for meeting the increasing demand for poultry products, ensuring both the animals’ welfare and the profitability of businesses involved in poultry farming.
