At the family-run company Bj\u00e4ref\u00e5gel in Torekow AB, we are passionate about raising high-quality chicken in Sweden. That is why we work with responsible animal husbandry and clear environmental efforts.\u00a0<\/p>

In 2017, Bj\u00e4ref\u00e5gel became the first chicken farmer in Sweden to be certified climate-friendly by Svenskt Sigill. We follow the certification requirements to reduce our carbon footprint. Read more at sigill.se. Our breeders are certified through both Svenskt Sigill and Svensk F\u00e5gel. The entire operation is audited by an accredited, independent control body.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Almost twice as much space in the stable<\/h3>

In Europe, you can have up to 42 kg of chicken per square meter. We have chosen to have about 20\u201322 kg of chicken per square meter. Thus, Bj\u00e4rekycklingar has plenty of space to move around, thanks to our lower stocking density.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Quality feed based on Swedish corn and cereals<\/h3>

The vegetable feed contains corn, legumes, cereals, soybeans, vitamins and minerals. It is a feed that provides our Bj\u00e4re Chicken with a good foundation throughout their entire breeding period. The feed does not contain GMOs, antibiotics or coccidiostatics.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Slow growth and careful handling<\/h3>

We raise chickens that are classified as slow-growing, with an average growth of a maximum of 45 grams per day. The greater space to move around and the slower growth provide the chickens with good conditions throughout their entire rearing period. We raise our chickens for about 50 days. We always handle our birds carefully and lift them with two hands, both the body and the wings, to reduce the risk of injury and stress.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Breeding on smaller family farms<\/h3>

Bj\u00e4rekycklingar are raised by us at Bj\u00e4ref\u00e5gel and by controlled and certified breeders primarily on the Bj\u00e4re Peninsula and in southern Halland. We strive to have our breeders as close as possible to minimize transportation routes.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
