Because Alpigal partner companies are located close by, transport is kept to a minimum, meaning less stress for the birds.

Distance from partner companies

Alpigal is a byword for regional chicken production. Because of this, we keep transport to an absolute minimum – all Alpigal partner companies must be located within a radius of 200 kilometres from the abattoir and processing facility in Ertingen.

This allows us to keep minimise transport and to avoid subjecting the birds to unnecessary stress. This means that our Alpigal standard involves shorter transport routes than conventional or even organic production.

Stocking density

Stocking density

Stocking density refers to how much room a full-grown chicken has in a chicken house. Stocking density is always given in terms of body weight per square metre of floor area.
Outdoor area

One of the main distinctions in poultry rearing is whether the birds have access to the open air or not. As of the 21st day, all of our Alpigal chickens have access to their own cold scratching area.

Alpigal producers always have enough time for their birds. One of the reasons for this is that Alpigal clearly specifies how many chickens producers may have on their holdings.
