What is the Laying Hen Welfare Forum?

The Laying Hen Welfare Forum brings together expertise from industry, farm, animal welfare and government to explore how we can improve flock management and reduce injurious pecking amongst laying hens.

Through practical studies, the group is seeking to establish economically positive ways of  improvement in animal welfare for laying hens and pullets.

The LHWF will promote knowledge transfer to the wider egg industry, including the domestic poultry keeping sector, and endeavour to encourage adoption of best practice by all.
