Layer Farms

The Layer industry is in a state of change, new demands and regulations driving the industry towards greater welfare for the animals. Depending on the countries where the projects are implemented, the legislations can change considerably, but egg production is generally divided into cage (outside the EU), floor, free-range and organic.

Laying hen houses are characterized by large differences between the type of production selected (the well-known 0, 1, 2 and 3 marking that can be found in supermarkets), as well as the accommodation. This video shows an example of a free-range chicken farm housed in an aviary.
