10th "Hafez" International Symposium on Turkey Diseases

Transparency in the Poultry Industry is a common project of the Lower Saxony Poultry Association and the Science and Information Centre for Sustainable Poultry Production (WING) of the University of Vechta. The main challenges for the project are to inform the public and politicians but also animal welfare organizations and media about different topics regarding poultry production. The project shows a realistic image of modern systems of egg and poultry meat production. To guarantee objective information WING, is in charge of the scientific monitoring of the farm openings and organizes a visitor’s survey. First results of the visitor’s survey from participating turkey farms are presented in this paper.
