The Belgian poultry sector

In 2020, the total number of poultry in Belgium was of 37.368.002. There is a notable regional concentration of the sector: 85% of the animals (31.766.298 individuals) are hosted in Flanders and only 15% in Wallonia (5.601.704 individuals) .

The figure characterise the entirety of the Belgian poultry sector and hence include both broilers which are raised for meat production and laying hens, raised for the production of eggs. As a consequence, and as shown on Figure 24, the poultry sector is in fact made up of three distinct sectors.

In the breeding sector, "lightweight" mothers produce eggs and chicks which are destined for the laying hen sector. On the other hand, "heavyweight" mothers produce eggs and chicks which are destined for the broiler sector and hence for the production of poultry meat. In the laying hen sector, the chicks are first "fattened" before going to an actual laying farm. In the broiler sector, the chicks go straight to broiler farms where they are fattened until they are slaughtered.

Characterisation of production systems in the Belgian broiler sector

• Organic: The organic certification and production system has the highest number of criteria. It involves a series of practices and conditions such as an access to an outdoor area for the broilers, a maximum number of animals per building and per farm, an organic diet for the animals, etc.
• Differentiated: A study carried out in 2015 by the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries of the Flemish government has identified eight differentiation initiatives in Flanders and Wallonia, apart from the organic certification. These initiatives put the emphasis on several aspects such as the use of specific breeds, specific animal diets or specific housing systems, or a combination of those elements.
• Certified (Belplume): Today, the Belplume certification which was mentioned earlier represents the standard for poultry meat production in Belgium as it covers more than 90% of total national production (and more than 95% in Flanders). In addition to this standard, some retail companies have extra requirements such as 100% vegetal diets. This sometimes considered as "Belplume Plus", although formally there is no such standard.
• Conventional: Although the Belplume certification covers nearly the entirety of the Belgian poultry meat production, some farms do not operate under the Belplume specifications yet. However, according to actor interviews, practices in conventional not-certified systems are rather similar to practices in Belplume-certified systems.

Broiler feed intake and consumption in the Belgian broiler sector

Belgium - Production of meat: poultry was 448.98 Thousand tonnes in December of 2020, according to the EUROSTAT. Historically, Belgium - Production of meat: poultry reached a record high of 469.59 Thousand tonnes in December of 2018 and a record low of 361.22 Thousand tonnes in December of 2009. It can be seen that the production of poultry meat in Belgium has been increasing.

Here, a clear distinction appears between the two first systems (conventional and certified) and two others (differentiated and organic) in terms of feed conversion. As a result of longer production cycles (around 80 days for differentiated and organic systems instead of 40 days for conventional and Belplume systems) as well as the use of different breeds, chickens in differentiated and organic systems need much more feed to grow.
