To meet consumer demand, a variety of eggs are available depending on hen housing, feed, egg nutritional properties, colour, size, etc.
In Canada and at Nutri Group, we distinguish between four main types of housing systems for laying hens.
Hens are housed together in small groups with free access to food and water.
Hens are raised in groups, with access to perches, scratch mats, and a nesting area.
Hens move freely around the henhouse, benefiting from a nesting area and free access to food and water.
Free-range henhouses are similar to free-run systems, while also offering outdoor access when the weather permits.
The health and welfare of our hens is an essential priority for our producers.
For all types of housing, our Canadian producers and farmer-owners ensure the welfare of laying hens by complying with a national animal care program rooted in a rigorous national code of practice: the Code of Practice for the Care and Handling of Farm Animals.
