Green Chicken

Ziel des Projekts GreenChicken ist die Entwicklung von zukunftsfähigen Fütterungsstrategien in der ökologischen Hühnerhaltung mit den Wertschöpfungsketten Ei und Geflügelfleisch, bei gleichzeitiger Verbesserung der Umwelt- und Klimawirkungen. GreenChicken untersucht und entwickelt Fütterungsstrategien für Legehennen und Masthühner und betrachtet dabei den ganzen Lebens- und Produktionszyklus vom Küken- über das Jungtierstadium bis zur Legehenne bzw. zum Endmast-Broiler. Im Fokus steht der Vergleich der Haltung von Legehybriden zur Eiproduktion in Verbindung mit der Bruderhahnaufzucht und der Haltung von Zweinutzungshühnern. Dabei werden bisherige Erkenntnisse aus Praxis und Beratung adäquat in die Forschung einbezogen, um so praxisnahe Lösungen zu entwickeln.
