Updated requirements for the welfare of farm animals have been in effect in Ukraine since January 1, 2026. What exactly has changed for poultry farms? How to train staff? How will state control be carried out?

The answers will be available on March 11 during the specialized online seminar "Implementation of general requirements for the welfare of farm poultry during its maintenance.".

The event is organized by the Ministry of Economy, Environment and Agriculture of Ukraine and the State Service of Ukraine for Food Safety and Consumer Protection in cooperation with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) with the support of Switzerland within the framework of the QFTP program.
