Frequently asked

Glossary

1

Broiler

A chicken raised specifically for meat production, typically slaughtered at 5-7 weeks. At Poultry Tech Poland, broiler housing, ventilation, feeding and processing systems form the largest share of the exhibition floor.

2

Layer

A hen kept for table-egg production, usually housed in enriched colony, aviary or free-range systems. Layer equipment on show covers nest boxes, egg belts, manure belts, grading and packing lines.

3

Breeder and parent stock

Birds kept to produce hatching eggs for commercial broiler or layer flocks. Breeder nutrition, lighting programmes and nest management are recurring seminar topics at Polish poultry fairs.

4

Grandparent stock (GPS)

The generation above parent stock in the poultry breeding pyramid. Poland hosts GPS and parent farms supplying both domestic integrators and export customers across Central Europe.

5

Hatchery

A facility that incubates hatching eggs and delivers day-old chicks. Hatchery exhibits at the show include setters, hatchers, egg candling, in-ovo vaccination, chick grading and transport crates.

6

Day-old chick (DOC)

A newly hatched chick delivered from hatchery to farm. DOC quality, chick holding conditions and transport time directly affect first-week mortality and flock uniformity.

7

Feed conversion ratio (FCR)

Kilograms of feed consumed per kilogram of live weight or egg mass produced. FCR is the core economic benchmark discussed between nutritionists, equipment suppliers and integrators on the show floor.

8

Compound feed and feed mill

Nutritionally complete rations blended from cereals, oilseed meals, minerals and additives. Feed milling exhibits cover hammer mills, mixers, pellet presses, coolers and dosing systems.

9

Phytase and other feed enzymes

Enzymes added to poultry diets to release bound phosphorus or improve fibre and protein digestion, reducing feed cost and phosphorus excretion. A common additive category among exhibitors in the feed and nutrition hall.

10

Amino acid balancing

Formulating diets to meet requirements for lysine, methionine, threonine and other amino acids rather than relying on crude protein levels. Reduces nitrogen waste and feed cost.

11

Mycotoxin binder

A feed additive that reduces absorption of mycotoxins such as aflatoxin and deoxynivalenol from contaminated grain. Relevant to Polish mills after wet harvest years.

12

Biosecurity

The set of protocols - hygiene barriers, boot dips, shower-in, rodent control, visitor logs - that keep pathogens out of a poultry farm. Biosecurity is the dominant theme in Poland because of HPAI pressure and dense farm clustering.

13

Avian influenza (HPAI)

Highly pathogenic avian influenza, a recurring threat to Polish poultry, especially in autumn and winter. Outbreaks trigger regional restriction zones and export bans, which is why HPAI control features heavily in Polish poultry industry discussions.

14

Newcastle disease

A viral disease of poultry controlled through vaccination and biosecurity. Vaccination programmes and hatchery spray or in-ovo application are standard topics at Central European poultry events.

15

Coccidiosis

An intestinal parasite disease affecting young birds. Control options include in-feed anticoccidials, vaccines and improved litter management; all three appear among show exhibitors.

16

Tunnel ventilation

A housing ventilation design that pulls air along the house length at high speed to cool birds in summer. Tunnel and side-wall ventilation controls are typical equipment on display.

17

Nipple drinker line

A pressurised watering line with nipples, used to deliver clean water with minimal spillage. Water-to-feed ratio and line hygiene are frequent questions for suppliers.

18

Enriched colony and aviary systems

Alternative layer housing systems that provide nests, perches, scratch areas and litter. Driven by EU and Polish animal welfare rules, these systems dominate layer equipment exhibits.

19

Automatic nest and egg belt

Laying-hen nest systems with belts that carry eggs to a collection point, reducing cracked and dirty eggs. Often shown paired with egg grading and packing equipment.

20

Egg candling and grading

Candling uses light to inspect egg interior quality; grading sorts eggs by weight, shell quality and cracks. Modern lines combine candling, weighing, stamping and packing in one automated flow.

21

Controlled atmosphere stunning (CAS)

A slaughter pre-stunning method using gas mixtures rather than electrical stunning. CAS improves animal welfare scores and meat quality but requires specific line design and gas handling.

22

Deboning and further processing

Post-slaughter lines that separate meat from bone and turn it into portions, nuggets, sausages or ready meals. Poultry Tech Poland covers both primary processing and further-processing equipment.

23

Rendering and by-product recovery

Processing of slaughter by-products and fallen stock into meal, fat and energy. Rendering exhibitors are relevant to integrators looking at circular revenue and biosecurity compliance.

24

Manure drying and waste-to-energy

Systems that dry or combust poultry litter to reduce volume, generate heat or produce fertiliser. Increasingly relevant as Polish farms face higher litter disposal costs and energy prices.

25

HACCP and ISO 22000

Food safety management standards required for poultry processing and export certification. Certification bodies and hygiene equipment suppliers exhibit for processors preparing retail and export audits.

26

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR)

The reduction of antibiotic use in poultry production through vaccination, gut health additives and farm management. A policy driver shaping nutrition and veterinary exhibits across the EU.

27

Footpad dermatitis

A welfare and quality issue caused by wet litter, scored at slaughter. Litter management, ventilation and drinking-line design discussions at the show often reference footpad scores.

28

In-ovo vaccination

Vaccine delivery into hatching eggs at the hatchery, reducing labour and chick handling. Common among hatchery automation exhibits at poultry trade fairs.

29

Polish poultry sector

Poland is one of the largest poultry producers in the EU and a major exporter of chicken and turkey meat. That export position drives demand for processing lines, cold chain and certification services at the Nadarzyn showground.
