Abstract

The consumer market is increasingly concerned with animal foods they consume and especially the conditions in which they are kept during the production period. The posture of poultry is one of the sectors in which these concerns become increasingly demanding, because in industrial poultry farming these animals are kept in cages throughout the production cycle, although the space is considered sufficient for these birds can jogging, that space does not allow the birds to express some characteristics of their natural behavior (taking sand bath up and down perches, have ample room to explore) this behavior is observed in semi-confined system, hillbilly, or organic. Although these systems have certain similarities, they differ in some respects, the organic is certified by bodies, which can be certifying companies, which are in turn supervised by Ministry of Agriculture and Supply, which differs from other . Sanity in the case of organic creation must be made without the use of veterinary medicinal products, and only the mandatory vaccine should be offered to animals, ensuring production within the requirement of the international standards of organic production organization.
