Integrated broiler and apple production
The overall objective is to investigate if and how beneficial effects occur when poultry production are integrated in the fruit production with respect to effectiveness in pests fighting and prospect of producing distinct high meat and fruit qualities. Specific objectives are:
- To investigate the influence of combined broilers and apple production on infestations of pests especially apple sawflies on yield and inner and outer fruit quality
- To investigate the importance of broiler genotype and feeding strategies on growth and meat quality and the interactions with age at slaughter
- To propose viable strategies for a differentiated broiler production based on integrated fruit-broiler production
