Healthy animals are an important aspect of animal welfare. Moreover, it is an important aspect for climate impact as healthy animals also produce more efficiently. A low mortality rate in production is a significant indicator.

Criterion text

Eggs must come from a producer that works in accordance with a health reporting system with health parameters for animal welfare. Parameters are to be monitored in a systematic way, causes must be analysed, deviations must be documented and result in appropriate action in consultation with a veterinarian or production advisor to remedy the problems.

The health reporting system must at least include the following:

  • Mortality rate
  • Pecking injuries
  • Feathering
  • The presence of mites
  • The presence of roundworm

Verification


  • Certification system that fulfils the requirement, e.g., KRAV, Svenskt Sigill [Swedish Seal] (supplement according to climate certification)

  • Quality system that meets the requirement, e.g., the Swedish Egg and Poultry Association's [Svenska Ägg] inspection programme
