Evaluation of the protection of the welfare of laying hens in Germany
Last September 14th, the final report of an audit of Germany in order to evaluate the protection of the welfare of laying hens at all stages of production was uploaded online. This audit was carried out from 21st, September to 1st, October 2021.
The objective was to assess the effectiveness of official controls to ensure the protection of the welfare of laying hens at all stages of production. The conclusions indicate, for example, that the welfare of laying hens is a priority to authorities and stakeholders and that the system of official controls is well-integrated and effective, with requirements of the national legislation more stringent than EU ones.
Other conclusions are available in the report on the European Commission website.
