“…The results are shown in Figure4. Similar results about consumer's location of poultry meat purchase were obtained in a study of German consumers by Becker et al 2000, Central and South East Europe consumers by Vukasovič (2011) and in the study for Greece consumers by Sismanoglou & Tzimitra-Kalogianni (2011). In this part of the research, with face-to-face survey and with the method of semantic differential, in assembly of structured questionnaire, the stand points and the perception of consumers towards poultry meat the researcher has been researched.…”

“…In addition, it is quick and easy to prepare, healthy, safe, nourishing, and it offers a rich taste. The causes for the change in meat consumption have been a muchdebated issue in the agricultural economics literature (Becker et al, 2000, Grimshaw, 2013,Sismanoglou & Tzimitra-Kalogianni, 2011Vukasovič, 2009Vukasovič, , 2010Vukasovič, , 2011Vukasovič, , 2014.…”

Agricultural market developments have attracted considerable attention recently, due to increasing consumer food prices and sharp short term price fluctuations of agricultural commodity prices. This medium term outlook provides a projection for major EU agricultural commodity markets and agricultural income until the year 2022, based on a set of coherent assumptions. Under these assumptions, agricultural commodity prices are expected to stay firm over the medium term, supported by factors such as the growth in global food demand, the development of the biofuel sector and a prolongation of the long-term decline in food crop productivity growth. EU commodity markets are projected to remain balanced on average over the outlook period, without the need for market intervention. Prospects for agricultural income grow at EU level during the outlook period, resulting from continuing decline in labor input rather than from income increases at sector level (European Commission, 2012). The article concentrates on the prospects for European meat market trends and on results of the primary quantitative research which was carried out in four countries EU member state.

“…Socio-demographic questions were also included, which were used to further explain consumer behaviour and identify potential market segments. The questionnaire was designed taking into account the literature on public knowledge and attitudes towards chicken production systems [18,19,20,21,22,23,24]. We defined knowledge as “facts, information, and skills acquired through experience or education; the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject” and attitude as a “relatively stable favourable or unfavourable feeling or belief about a concept, person, or object” [25].…”

Simple SummaryPublic knowledge of meat chicken production and how it influences attitudes to birds’ welfare and consumer behaviour is poorly understood. We therefore conducted a survey of the public in SE Queensland, Australia, from which we determined that industry knowledge was limited. Where it existed, it related to an empathetic attitude towards chicken welfare and an increase in chicken consumption. This suggests that consumers who eat more chicken believe that they should understand the systems of production of the animals that they are consuming.AbstractLittle is known about public knowledge of meat chicken production and how it influences attitudes to birds’ welfare and consumer behaviour. We interviewed 506 members of the public in SE Queensland; Australia; to determine how knowledge of meat chicken production and slaughter links to attitudes and consumption. Knowledge was assessed from 15 questions and low scores were supported by respondents’ self-assessed report of low knowledge levels and agreement that their knowledge was insufficient to form an opinion about which chicken products to purchase. Older respondents and single people without children were most knowledgeable. There was uncertainty about whether chicken welfare was adequate, particularly in those with little knowledge. There was also evidence that a lack of empathy towards chickens related to lack of knowledge, since those that thought it acceptable that some birds are inadequately stunned at slaughter had low knowledge scores. More knowledgeable respondents ate chicken more frequently and were less likely to buy products with accredited labelling. Approximately half of the respondents thought the welfare of the chicken was more important than the cost. It is concluded that the public’s knowledge has an important connection to their attitudes and consumption of chicken.

“…This suggests that consumers are using accreditation as a means of ensuring products are of high welfare, replacing their limited knowledge, even though accredited labels exhibit no information regarding the conditions where birds were raised or processed and no reference to animal welfare [35]. Consumers have put pressure on retailers to properly label products and producers, manufacturers and supermarkets to have an animal welfare labelling system [23] as well as the country of origin, production techniques [36] and conditions of rearing [19]. Fifty-six percent of respondents were prepared to contribute to the cost of setting up animal welfare ratings by paying extra for the products, particularly females, and the most common increase in cost that would be accepted was 2.5%.…”
