Abstract
Organic egg production is a controlled system for producing
food of animal origin that integrates requirements relating to
food safety, animal health and welfare, environmental
protection, and transparent consumer information. Unlike
conventional systems, organic production requires the noncage housing of laying hens, access to outdoor areas, the use
of organically produced feed, restrictions on the use of
veterinary medicinal products, and a mandatory inspection
and certification system. The principal European Union
legal framework governing organic production is established
by Regulation (EU) 2018/848, while Commission
Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/464 specifies certain
technical requirements for organic livestock production,
including poultry production (European Parliament and
Council, 2018; European Commission, 2020).
The aim of this paper is to present the fundamental
principles of organic production of hen eggs intended for
human consumption, with particular emphasis on production
systems, feeding, housing, health management, disease
prevention and treatment, animal welfare, and technological
challenges encountered in production. Particular attention is
given to compliance with European Union legislation,
including regulations governing organic production, the
welfare of laying hens, feed hygiene, Salmonella control,
and marketing standards for eggs (Council Directive
1999/74/EC; Regulation (EC) No 852/2004; Regulation
(EC) No 853/2004; Regulation (EC) No 183/2005;
Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003; Regulation (EU)
2023/2465; Regulation (EU) 2023/2466).
Keywords: Organic Production, Hen Eggs, Laying Hens, Organic Feeding, Animal Welfare, Salmonella, EU Legislation
