UK’s organic poultry sector needs help with 2012 rule change

Organic certifiers in the UK are being urged to take the lead in preparing the sector for 2012-regulations requiring pullets to be fully organic.
The call has come from Hi Peak Peak Organic Feeds, whose feed advisor Mike Burrows says: “Organic poultry producers need guidance on the issue of pullet supply for 2012 as a matter of urgency. Under the new measures, pullets will have to have access to outdoor ranging, and many established organic pullet-rearing units will not have the facility to accommodate this.”
Rearers will need to be compliant by the second week of August 2012.
