The main goal of the project was to produce information that can be used to improve the profitability of poultry production and promote the consumption of Finnish products. The project consisted of five interrelated subprojects, each of which examined one of the various subareas of the Finnish poultry meat chain.
Evira's part of the project focused on describing the structure of disease risk management, identifying poultry diseases and zoonoses important for the Finnish poultry sector and on examining the structure and distribution of costs along the poultry chain. The farm-level cost of biosecurity during a disease free period was also investigated.
