The BroilerNet project involves a bottom-up approach to identify challenges and innovation needs for broiler farmers in Europe, and to collect promising and already successfully implemented Good Practices to meet the challenges in questions. The top Good Practices selected by experts within the three thematic areas (animal health management, animal welfare and sustainability) have been summarized in factsheets. This Good Practice (GP) addresses the issue of mandatory animal welfare training for owners and keepers of broilers, according to Directive 2007/43/EC. Farmers are required to provide written instructions and guidance on the regulatory animal welfare standards applicable to personnel handling, catching or loading chickens. These standards should include procedures and good practices concerning the culling methods used on farm. A Distance Learning online training course was developed by the Italian broiler farmers' association UNAITALIA in collaboration with the Competent Authority (CA).
