Production capacity of eggs and broilers grew in the ’60 till ‘80 and as a reaction NGO’s became active as a counter force

History of slow growing broilers in NL  (1)

• Already in ‘70 NGO’s (Non‐Governmental Organizations) active against environmental impact of animal production (manure, dust, smell) 

• From 2000 onwards more attention for animal welfare• Active NGO’s:

• Dierenbescherming (Animal Welfare Association)• Since 2006: Partij voor de Dieren (Party for the Animals) 

• 2 seats out of 150 in our Dutch parliament• Since 2008: Wakker Dier (Awoken Animal)

History of slow growing broilers in NL  (2)

In the same period (2000 – 2010) some development of “slow‐growing”

• 2000‐2005 project to develop new concept: 1 feed company, Animal Welfare Association, 1 breeding company and 2 supermarkets

• 2006: first production of “Volwaard” broilers (10.000/week)

• 2007: Introduction Beter Leven (Better Life) concept by Animal Welfare Association 1 – 2 – 3 stars or  ‐ ‐

• 2010: Growing volume of Volwaard and other supermarkets started with “scharrelkip” (Better Life 1 = extensive indoor / barn chicken)

History – star  system Dierenbescherming

• Introduced in 2007 by the Dutch Animal Welfare Association “Dierenbescherming” for different products:layers                   broilers                  pigs                     beef                     veal

For broilers:56 days indoor + winter garden (= covered range)

56 days Free Range

> 70 days, big free range area; organic is part if it

Kip van Morgen  =  Chicken of Tomorrow

• Pressure  on retailers from NGO’s, especially Wakker Dier• Very strong media campaign• Focus on broiler meat• Against supermarkets and food producers• Against “plofkip”(= exploding chicken)

• The campaign has been extremely successful• “Plofkip” most popular word in 2012• The word “plofkip” has nearly 100% name recognition• The campaign won an important media award  

• September 2012: announcement CBL* and Poultry Sector to make the poultry meat assortment more sustainable

Chicken of Tomorrow

• May 2013: Introduction Chicken of Tomorrow• Stakeholders:

• All retailers organized in CBL

• Dutch Poultry Board

• Processing plants

• Dutch Farmers associations (NOP & NVP)

• Agreement for:• Replacement all fresh broiler meat in supermarkets (2020)

• Max. ADG of 50 gr/d

• Min. age 45 days

• First steps to lower density (max 19 birds/m2)

• Enrichment material, f.e. straw bales and/or cereals in litter

Chicken of Tomorrow

• January 2015: Dutch Authority Consumer & Market gives negative advice to Dutch government  this agreement is illegal: no competition anymore between supermarkets

• From that moment poultry industry and supermarkets go their own way• Supermarkets replace all fresh chicken meat by meat from slow growing birds

• Nowadays 30‐35% of our broiler production is according to a slow growing concept

Breeds – Parent stock 

• Female breeders: no feed restriction, also not during rearing• Note: prevent stealing feed by the males 

• Max weight of the (Hubbard JA87) breeders is 2400 gr

• Hubbard M99 is a male also used for production of traditional broilers 

• Minimum surface per bird 1200 cm2 8,3 birds/m2

• Hardly any light stimulation• To prevent too many small eggs

Housing

• For the Chicken of Tomorrow  (supermarket AH) no changes in housing is necessary 

• Daylight (roof or window) for the broiler for the Jumbo supermarket (new standard broiler) 

• Winter garden (= covered range) for the                  production 

• No extra needs in feed and water supply

Management 

• Partly different from traditional production:• Focus on slower growth, max 50 gr/day • Max 38 kg/m2

• Extra attention for temperature first weeks• Smaller day‐old‐chicks due to lower egg weights• Lower heat production• Lower stocking density 

• What to feed: crumbs or pellets?• Adjustment of water pressure to regulate water and feed intake• Health control

Nutrition and Feed

• Nutritional values according to the concept • Based on recommendations of breeding companies• Adjustment according to experience• Trouw Nutrition recommendations for

• Chicken of Tomorrow (max gain 50 g/d)• 1 star Better Life concept (age min 56 days)

• Compared to traditional broiler feed:• Relative small change in energy (lower feed intake capacity) • Lower in CP and amino acids (lower daily gain)  

• Feed structure• Feed is supplied in crumble or pellets

• Use of feed additives (coccidiostats, enzymes,….) as in traditional broilers

Health(care) 

• Health seems to be better, due to:• Lower stocking density• Slower growth 

• No differences in vaccination program compared to traditional broilers• For NL this means: NCD, IBD and most farms also IB

• In general very dry litter• Positive effect on footpad lesions• Difficult to control fresh manure 

• Older birds  other diseases: some cases of E.Necatrix in 56 days concept

Health(care)

• Use of antibiotics

• Percentage of flocks treated with antibiotics:• Traditional broilers 40%• Chicken of Tomorrow 10%• Broilers 1BL ‐ 56 days  1%

Slow growing in relation to Sustainability 

• Weak points• NL: No choice for consumer• 20% higher cost price• Additional feed needed• Additional land needed• Additional water needed• Extra manure output 

26

• Strong points • Animal welfare• No feed restriction in rearing breeders   

• Lower mortality• Less footpad dermatitis• Less antibiotic• Meat quality (no white striping, wooden breast)

What is sustainable broiler production?

What will be the future?

• In The Netherlands:• Only the fresh meat from slow 

growing birds in supermarkets, 30%, like nowadays?

• Or also on the week markets? • What will the food processors do?• What will the fast food chains do? 

• On these last 2 groups a strong pressure from NGO’s
