Poultry and PIg Low-input and Organic production systems' Welfare Goals and originality of the PPILOW project The PPILOW project aims to co-construct through a multi-actor approach innovations to improve the welfare of poultry and pigs reared in organic and low-input outdoor farming systems. The PPILOW participatory approach involves all actors of the production chain from farmers to consumers, citizens, scientists and policy makers, for proposing and studying welfare improvement levers. It will provide a combination of practical solutions for welfare improvement that can be applied on a pan-European basis. Project workplan PPILOW will cocreate with end-users (National Practitioner Groups) welfare self-assessment tools and innovative breeding and rearing strategies/techniques for improving animal and human welfare by: ► avoiding piglet castration, beak trimming and the elimination of one day-old layer male chicks, ► favouring positive behaviours and improving health and robustness in both species The innovative solutions will be investigated experimentally and the most promising ones will be tested on-farm.
