Poultry

[Amir Sohel]

A semi-intensive poultry system combines elements of both free-range and intensive farming, offering a balance between outdoor access and controlled indoor environments. To practice it effectively, provide a well-designed house with access to a fenced outdoor run, ensuring sufficient space for foraging and movement. Supplement the birds’ diet with both commercial feed and opportunities to scavenge for natural food sources.

The semi-intensive poultry system combines elements of both free-range and intensive systems. It involves providing a house for shelter and a fenced-in run for daytime foraging. The farmer provides supplemental feed, water, and other necessary inputs like vaccines, while the birds have some access to natural feed sources within the run. This system offers a balance between productivity and welfare, allowing for greater control over inputs and disease management compared to free-range, while still providing some natural environment for the birds.
