Questions to EURCAW (Q2E)
Scientific and technical assistance
The centre has been created in the context of the regulation 2017/625 about official controls (art. 95) to support the European Commission and member states in the applications of legislation regarding poultry and other small farm animals’ welfare.
The Centre offers scientific and technical assistance to Competent Authorities (CA), National Reference Centre (NRC), other Supporting Bodies (SB), from the EU Member States and the European Commission, regarding all aspects of welfare legislation implementation. The Centre is covering hatchery, farming, transportation and killing outside of risk assessment and risk management areas.
Selection of the most appropriate depopulation method for the welfare of poultry
The Selection Guide is online!
This selection guide has been developed for competent authorities, but it is available to any interested party. It is structured as a hierarchy of decision trees designed to determine whether a given depopulation method can be used while ensuring poultry welfare.

Knowledge pill: How long can they stand?
Determining the walking ability in broilers using the latency-to-lie test
How long can broilers stand?
We have created our first Knowledge Pill about determining the walking ability in broilers using the latency-to-lie test.
Walking ability is a relevant animal-based indicator of #welfare in broilers, and the latency-to-lie test is an alternative method to the traditional gait scoring assessment.
