Abstract
Due to the growing market competition to reduce the cost of breeding chicken´s broiler,
breeders’ brokers are breeding them under worse conditions. An analysis of survey confirms economically-
ethically important facts that consumers of chicken´s meat are aware that chickens in the farms
must have more light and more movement space. Chicken meat consumers are willing to pay a higher
price for meat reared and labeled as „DÉDI -chicken-friendlier breeding” and to provide producers
with greater profits.
Key words
Chicken´s-friendlier breeding, animal welfare, ethics for farmed animals, anthropocentrism,
ecocentrism.
