According to the statement, the development will create optimal environmental conditions
Their goals include lighting, stocking density, sex ratio in breeding stocks, feeding and housing technology, a housing and feeding technology operating at an elevated animal welfare level for both breeding animals and end products. The practical application of the technologies to be developed will mean significant savings for the fattening goose sector, significantly improving its competitiveness. The project is taking place at two locations in Gödöllő and in Kiskunfélegyháza, where the consortium employs 96 people, thanks to which it can preserve at least 96 jobs.
