Synopsis (short abstract) The "Sustainable Broiler Production in North Macedonia - A Value Chain Guide to Best Practice" is to enhance the development of a sustainable broiler meat industry in North Macedonia so as to deliver a high-quality product that can compete directly with the current high volume of imported product. This Guide is a tool that supports the FAO mission to advance track record of efficiency gains and better environmental stewardship. Broiler growers, integrators, processors, suppliers, foodservice companies, retailers and outside stakeholders realise the importance of working together to collaborate on the shared goals of implementing best practices, tracking progress, and continuing to drive continuous improvement through the creation of the Guide including the best management practices as outlined in this document. The Guide is a tool to support and communicate continuous improvement in sustainability through leadership, innovation, multi-stakeholder engagement and collaboration. It successfully aggregates a list of best management practices that could be utilised on farms, hatcheries and processing operations both today and into the future. It also incorporates the important function of maintaining the highest achievable standards for welfare and food safety. The Guide has been developed by FAO and the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences and Food of the Republic of North Macedonia. It is expected that this publication will serve as a practical guide providing valuable information to both experienced and novice poultry producers alike, as well as for students, researchers.

    The poultry sector is changing rapidly and especially commercial small and medium-scale broiler production in and around cities has increased greatly over the past decades. This trend has public health implications as transforming livestock systems in densely populated areas can drive the emergence of infectious diseases. Sanitation, hygiene and related biosecurity practices provide the foundation upon which a sustainable transformation of the poultry sector can take place. However, the compliance with certain standards by stakeholders is not only a matter of laws and regulations but also of their incentives to comply with them. Producers, for example, are more likely to adopt biosecurity practices when they are convinced of their economic viability and positive impact on their business. This brief presents an approach from the poultry sector in Egypt that explored biosecurity related win-win solutions for both public and private stakeholders.

    The trend to urban and peri-urban livestock keeping is known in many developing and plays an important role in food security and livelihoods but can also pose a risk to the health of people. This development can be exemplified by the growing Kenyan small to medium-scale commercial poultry meat systems that rely on live bird markets and commonly have low biosecurity compliance. Although the relevant policy and legal biosecurity frameworks exists, enforcement actions are still piecemeal. There is the need to create an enabling environment where public authorities and private sector stakeholders, such as producers, traders, slaughterers, transport and market actors, collaborate and complement more effectively. The current policy brief sheds light on the current situation in Kiambu and Nairobi city counties and suggests an approach to improve biosecurity and broiler business in Kenya.
