Effects of on-farm and traditional hatching on welfare, health, and performance of broiler chickens
In on-farm hatching systems, eggs that have been incubated for 18 D are transported to the broiler farm. After hatching around day 21, the chicks have immediate access to feed and water

Can a hatching environmental make a difference in later life resilience?
Within the HealthyLivestock project, Wageningen University & Research together with Friedrich-Loeffler-Institute are studying possibilities to improve the resilience of broilers against diseases by improving welfare and peri-hatching conditions.
