Poultry: It depends

Poultry is healthy – if it is kept and fed properly. In the past, turkey meat unfortunately attracted attention due to antibiotic residues. The poultry were too often given preventive medication during fattening.

This is not allowed with organic poultry – and often not necessary with more species- appropriate forms of husbandry. However, attitude information is often confusing: terms such as “rural rearing” or “animal-friendly husbandry” mean nothing, criticizes the Lower Saxony consumer advice center.

Only legally regulated designations such as “extensive barn farming”, “peasant free-range farming” or “organic” are meaningful . The differences are big: while there are 10 animals per square meter in the organic barn, there are 23 in the intensive barn system.
