conclusion of the study is that the economic impact
of improving AW differ in the three livestock production sectors.
The main message for the broiler sector is that improving AW can
already lead to economic benefits without making large investments.
In the laying hen sector, however, the farm needs to make
substantial investments for any improvement in AW. In the fattening
pig sector, the majority of improvements in AW do not
result in considerable economic advantage for the farmer compared
to conventional system. Hence, from a farm perspective,
different approaches should be followed in each sector to further
developing the market for products with higher levels of AW.
