About BroilerNet
BroilerNet is a four-year project funded by the European Union bringing together partners from 13 countries — from both the broiler sector and the research community — with the aim of strengthening the resilience and sustainability of European poultry farming. Its strategy involves creating a science-practice interaction space to co-develop and disseminate “best practices” directly applicable on broiler farms.
