ANIMAL WELFARE & BROILER CHICKEN PRODUCTION SYSTEMS (CHAPTER 7.10)
• Definitions (Art. 7.10.1)• Chicken Broiler
o means a bird of the species Gallus gallus kept for commercial meat production.

INCIDENCE OF DISEASE - ASCITES
• The term "ascites" refers to the fluid accumulation in abdominal cavity or in chest area.
• The disease is more scientifically known as pulmonary hypertension syndrome.
• Diagnosed at 4 - 5 weeks of age. Total mortality due to ascites is higher in the male parent lines, which have the capability of faster growth
1515
ENVIRONMENT AND MANAGEMENT
a. Thermal environment
b. Lighting
c. Air quality
f. Flooring, bedding, resting surfaces and litter quality
g. Stocking density
h. Outdoor areas
j. Protection from predators
1616
LIGHT REGIME
1717
LIGHT MANGEMENT
• Continuous light produce low level of activity in broiler flocks throughout the day; the flock does not develop a circadian activity pattern
• Alternating Light-Dark-Rhythms lead to increased activity in the light phases but do not increase the total activity
1818
LIGHT MANAGMENT
Gain of increased light regime - 25 grams / per bird or 1% % of weight
Culls in different light regime - 1,6 % increase in culled birds
