Best Practice Hens - Pilot Project on Best Practices for Alternative Egg Production Systems

The Best Practice Hens (BPH) will prepare and provide practical support to egg producers to encourage them to transition from cage to cage-free systems. This applies to both the rearing of laying hens and the maintenance of laying hens during the production period. The BPH will ensure wide dissemination of the information gathered on best practices through the development of communication materials (videos and practice summaries). The BPH will organize dissemination events targeting Member States with a high percentage of cage systems to increase the implementation of cage-free housing systems in the target Member States (Spain, Poland, Portugal, and Belgium).
