Toward an information system on broiler welfare: Genetic selection Aspects (TOGA)

In June 2009, adopting a pro-active position by seeking relevant, accurate and available data in order to provide scientifically sound assessments is a priority for the Animal Health and Welfare (AHAW) Panel. EFSA called for a Systematic Review of the available scientific and technical literature be performed to enable collation of prevalence data on welfare issues in broilers and broiler breeders, in relation to genetic selection. This work aimed to provide a risk assessment with data.
