Abstract
An indicator of the maturity and humanity of society is the welfare of farm animals, and income is of secondary importance. One must not neglect the realization that animals feel pain, fear and suffering. The article provides a comparative description of the organic and intensive keeping of productive birds. The need for humane relations in animals, taking into account their natural needs, is noted. The negative effects of the intensification of the cultivation of chickens of meat crosses with improper content are described. The causes of the occurrence of diseases, and the effect of microclimate parameters on the health status of birds are analyzed. The main advantages and disadvantages of each system are described. To carry out the experience of growing chickens in an organic way in a certified farm, all the necessary conditions were created and normalized microclimate parameters were provided. Studies have found that organic poultry is slower in gaining a live mass, but it avoids a number of diseases and sufferings of chickens. In particular, diseases of the joints of the limbs, degeneration of internal organs, and the like. A positive effect on the organism of broiler chickens of insolation and exercise has been established. However, the excessive sensitivity of chickens to stress factors of different nature indicates a low efficiency of the use of meat poultry crosses for organic farms. For this purpose, local breeds of meat and egg chickens will be tested. Traditional poultry rearing does not provide well-being for animals and is inhuman for a number of factors, in particular, the bird feels pain and suffering as a result of pathologies and diseases associated with inadequate housing. Compacted content is a strong stress factor, as well as discomfort when the cellular content of the restrictions in space, the inability to meet natural needs, and the like. As a result, the body produces biologically active substances (hormones of stress and fear), which can adversely affect the quality, nutrition, nutritional value and safety of meat. Organic poultry farming does not pollute the environment and allows people to consume clean and safe food. Since the quality of organic products is confirmed by certificates of conformity, and this is a significant advantage in the market, it is worth developing the direction of organic poultry farming to improve the health of the nation.
