Summary

This mEATquality video guides on designing outdoor ranges for broiler chickens in free-range/organic systems. It covers practical enhancements like shelters, varied shades, and management to boost range use, welfare, exercise, and health via on-farm examples.

EPrint Type:	Practice tool
Teaser:	Design smarter outdoor ranges to unlock better broiler welfare and health.
What problem does the tool address?:	Sub-optimal outdoor range design in free-range/organic broiler production leads to low range use, limiting exercise, causing poor welfare, health issues, and vulnerability to weather/predators.
What solution does the tool offer?:	Optimized range design with shelters, shaded areas (trees/plots), perches, secure fencing, pop holes, and rotational grazing to encourage use, protect birds, account for individual variation, and promote exercise/health.
