Enrichment materials in turkey rearing

Practical experience in turkey rearing as part of the MuD Animal Welfare Project #Pute@Praxis

Improving animal welfare, harnessing positive effects, combining measures, developing concepts and putting scientific findings into practice – these are the goals that the MuD Animal Welfare Project #Pute@Praxis has set itself. It aims to contribute to phasing out beak trimming in turkeys in the future by adapting the rearing environment to the animals’ needs. How can different enrichment materials and housing design measures help to prevent behavioural problems such as feather pecking and cannibalism? In the video ‘Enrichment materials in turkey rearing’, farm manager Schmidt shares his experiences with various measures during the rearing phase.
