ADAS chicken workshops

There is new EU legislation for chicken rearing coming into force on the 30th June 2010.

To help understand what these changes will mean, ADAS is running six regional workshops that will give you an opportunity to find out what the new EU legislation means for you. The workshops are being delivered by ADAS on behalf of Defra, the British Poultry Council and the National Farmers Union.

The legislation will be explained together with discussions on what each requirement will mean at the farm level. The workshops will allow you to ask questions in an informal atmosphere with other rearers. For more information please click here.
