EU Directives are published on this site to aid cross referencing from UK legislation. Since IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.) no amendments have been applied to this version.
In addition to the relevant provisions of other relevant Community legislation, the following requirements shall apply:
the number of chickens introduced;
the useable area;
the hybrid or breed of the chickens, if known;
by each control, the number of birds found dead with an indication of the causes, if known as well as the number of birds culled with cause;
the number of chickens remaining in the flock following the removal of chickens for sale or for slaughter.
Those records shall be retained for a period of at least three years and shall be made available to the competent authority when carrying out an inspection or when otherwise requested.
However, beak trimming may be authorised by Member States when other measures to prevent feather pecking and cannibalism are exhausted. In such cases, it shall be carried out only after consultation and on the advice of a veterinarian and shall be carried out by qualified staff on chickens that are less than 10 days old. In addition, Member States may authorise the castration of chickens. The castration shall only be carried out under veterinary supervision by personnel who have received a specific training.
The following requirements shall apply:
The owner or keeper shall communicate to the competent authority his intention to use a stocking density of more than 33 kg/m2 live weight.
He shall indicate the exact figure and inform the competent authority of any change in the stocking density at least 15 days prior to the placement of the flock in the house.
If requested by the competent authority, that notification shall be accompanied by a document summarising the information contained in the documentation required under point 2.
The owner or keeper shall maintain and have available in the house compiled documentation describing in detail the production systems. In particular it shall include information on technical details of the house and its equipment such as:
a plan of the house including the dimensions of the surfaces occupied by the chickens;
ventilation and, if relevant, cooling and heating system, including their location, a ventilation plan, detailing target air quality parameters, such as airflow, air speed and temperature;
feeding and watering systems and their location;
alarm systems and backup systems in the event of a failure of any automated or mechanical equipment essential for the health and well-being of the animals;
floor type and litter normally used.
The documentation shall be made available to the competent authority on request and shall be kept updated. In particular, technical inspections of the ventilation and alarm system shall be recorded.
The owner or keeper shall communicate to the competent authority any changes to the described house, equipment or procedures which are likely to influence the welfare of the birds without undue delay.
the concentration of ammonia (NH3) does not exceed 20 ppm and the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) does not exceed 3 000 ppm measured at the level of the chickens’ heads;
the inside temperature, when the outside temperature measured in the shade exceeds 30 °C, does not exceed this outside temperature by more than 3 °C;
the average relative humidity measured inside the house during 48 hours does not exceed 70 % when the outside temperature is below 10 °C.
In the context of the controls performed under the Regulation (EC) No 854/2004, the official veterinarian shall evaluate the results of the post-mortem inspection to identify other possible indications of poor welfare conditions such as abnormal levels of contact dermatitis, parasitism and systemic illness in the holding or the unit of the house of the holding of origin.
If the mortality rate as referred to in paragraph 1 or the results of the post-mortem inspection as referred to in paragraph 2 are consistent with poor animal welfare conditions, the official veterinarian shall communicate the data to the owner or keeper of the animals and to the competent authority. Appropriate actions shall be taken by the owner or the keeper of the animals and by the competent authority.
The training courses referred to in Article 4(2) shall at least cover Community legislation concerning the protection of chickens and in particular the following matters:
Annexes I and II;
physiology, in particular drinking and feeding needs, animal behaviour and the concept of stress;
the practical aspects of the careful handling of chickens, and catching, loading and transport;
emergency care for chickens, emergency killing and culling;
preventive biosecurity measures.
the monitoring of the holding carried out by the competent authority within the last two years did not reveal any deficiencies with respect to the requirements of this Directive, and
the monitoring by the owner or keeper of the holding is carried out using the guides to good management practice referred to in Article 8, and
in at least seven consecutive, subsequently checked flocks from a house the cumulative daily mortality rate was below 1 % + 0,06 % multiplied by the slaughter age of the flock in days.
If no monitoring of the holding was carried out by the competent authority within the last two years, at least one monitoring exercise has to be carried out to check whether requirement (a) is fulfilled.
By the way of derogation from 1(c), the competent authority may decide to increase the stocking density when the owner or keeper has provided sufficient explanation for the exceptional nature of a higher daily cumulative mortality rate or has shown that the causes lie beyond his sphere of control.
