Laying hen stocking calculator
Enter usable floor area and housing system — we compute the max hen count under minimum EU welfare norms.
verifiedFrom the team that has organised work on poultry farms for years.
Directive 1999/74/EC sets minimum floor-area norms for laying hens by housing system. This tool computes the max hen count for a given area — a welfare floor, not a recommended production optimum.
- Norma gęstości
- 9 kur/m²
- Powierzchnia użytkowa
- 100 m²
- • Minimalna norma dobrostanu wg dyrektywy 1999/74/WE — nie optimum produkcyjne, zawsze sprawdź aktualne przepisy krajowe.
Indicative result based on breed curves (Aviagen Ross/Cobb, Aviagen Turkeys) and public factors. Real values depend on the flock and conditions. The calculator sends no data — it computes in your browser.
FAQ
Is this the optimal density or just the minimum?add
It is the minimum EU welfare norm. Many farmers deliberately stock below it for better production results.
Do norms differ between EU countries?add
Member states may set stricter norms than the EU minimum — always check current national rules.
What about outdoor range area for free-range?add
This calculator covers indoor area only. Free-range also requires a separate outdoor range, usually min. 4 m²/hen.
