BroilerNet announces European webinar: the transition to slow-growing broilers based on case studies from three European countries.
The BroilerNet project has announced a webinar focused on the transition to slow-growing broilers in Europe, offering a range of continental perspectives.
The event, entitled “Transitioning to Slower Growing Broilers: Different European Perspectives”, will take place on Tuesday, 18 November 2025, from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm (CET). The webinar will be held on the Zoom platform and will be recorded.
The BroilerNet project operates with funding from the Horizon Europe Research and Innovation programme and aims to increase the resilience and sustainability of the European broiler sector. Its objective is to create a space for interaction between science and practice, as well as the co-creation of innovative, farm-ready best practices for European farms. The project involves partners from the industry and research organisations from 13 countries, and runs for four years.
Key programme highlights
The webinar programme will provide a brief introduction to the BroilerNet project and the rationale for focusing on slow-growing broilers in Europe. It will then explore specific ongoing transition cases in three countries and market approaches:
- France: Adherence to a labelling scheme that uses slow-growing genetics as a criterion will be discussed.
- The Netherlands: Lessons from the Dutch case will be examined, analysing the country’s national transition to slower-growing birds.
- Germany: The perspective of a retailer requiring fresh slow-growing broiler meat within its labelling programmes will be presented.
The event will conclude with a round table discussion.
