Summary
100% organic feeding will be compulsory at the end of 2020. This trial compares the performance of layers fed with 95% organic and 100% organic feeding. 100% organic feeding meets the layers needs while maintaining animal performance and egg quality. Also, no negative impact on hens’ welfare was observed. However, the cost of 100% organic feeding led to an increase in total feeding costs, so now the question; where will this supplement be found? This document can help farmers and feed producers to change feeding formulation from 95% to 100% organic.
This tool is specific for organic hen producers and is relevant for all locations, particularly in the European Union where 100% organic feed is mandated by the end of 2020.
Summary translation
Le passage à l’alimentation 100% biologique sera effectif à la fin de l’année 2020. Cet essai compare les performances entre des poules pondeuses nourries avec un aliment 95% biologique et un aliment 100% biologique. L’aliment 100% biologique couvre les besoins des pondeuses tout en maintenant le niveau de performance et la qualité des œufs. De plus, aucun impact négatif n’est observé sur le bien-être des poules. Cependant, le prix de l’aliment 100% biologique augmente le coût alimentaire total. La question est donc de savoir comment combler ce supplément dans la chaine de production. Ce document peut aider les éleveurs et les fabricants d’aliment à effectuer les changements de formulation du 95% vers le 100% biologique. Il est spécifique pour les éleveurs de poules pondeuses mais valable partout, particulièrement en Union Européenne du fait du changement de réglementation bientôt.
