answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/07/2018 answer text <p>Defra commissioned research into gamebird rearing from 2010 to 2012: AW1303 “Study to determine whether cage-based breeding can meet the needs of game birds, and if not, to identify best practice”. This research found that for pheasants and partridges, providing increased space does not necessarily equate with enhanced welfare.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Defra’s advisory body, the Farm Animal Welfare Committee (FAWC), was tasked with considering all aspects of gamebird farming to feed into future work in this area. This assessment included a range of traditional and more intensive methods of gamebird breeding and rearing, including: breeding partridges in cages; breeding pheasants in grass pens or raised cages; rearing partridges and pheasants in brooder huts with grass pens; and commercial broiler chicken-type sheds with outdoor runs. In 2008, it published an Opinion on the Welfare of Farmed Gamebirds and its recommendations fed into Defra’s current Code of Practice for the Welfare of Gamebirds Reared for Sporting Purposes: <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/325047/FAWC_opinion_on_the_welfare_of_farmed_gamebirds.pdf" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/325047/FAWC_opinion_on_the_welfare_of_farmed_gamebirds.pdf</a></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 17/07/2018 10:46:36 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
