According to the EU regulation for organic agriculture minimum slaughter age for
broiler is 81 days unless slow growing strains are used. Aim of the study was to compare
broiler strains of different growing intensities with regard to performance, animal
health and animal welfare. 7 broiler strains were compared (20 – 65 g daily gain). First
results show a decrease of health parameters and behavioural activities with increasing
growing intensity
