Summary in the original language of the document
Designing an outdoor area for poultry is essential to maximing use of space and improving animal welfare. Featuring trees in the outdoor area provides shade and protection for broilers, allowing them to explore, forage, and find more nutrients via the plants, grubs and insects present. The composition of the grazing area is also important to keep the soil covered. This space must be properly managed to stay attractive and effective. This tool provides tips and covers the basics for farmers and advisors who want to re-design their outdoor grazing area for poultry.
Summary translation
Amenager le parcours est essentiel pour en maximiser l’utilisation et améliorer le bien-être des volailles. La présence d’arbres fournit de l’ombre et protège les poulets des intempéries et des attaques aériennes de rapaces. Ainsi les poulets peuvent davantage explorer le parcours, paturer et trouver des nutriments via les plantes, les vers et autres insectes qu’ils y toruvent. La composition de l’espace paturé est très importante afin de maintenir le sol couvert. Cette espace doit être géré de manière à rester attractif et efficace. Cet outil fournit des conseils et astuces pour les éleveurs et les conseilleurs qui souhaitent travailler sur l’aménagement des parcours pour les volailles.
