Environmental legislation, Ethics, Poultry farming, Poultry productionAbstract
In the evolution of the aviculture, several changes in management, nutrition, genetics and environment
could be observed over the years. The consumer profile of poultry products has changed and are increasingly aware of
the need to take up welfare practices in poultry production. Thus, the objective of this literature review is to highlight
the current scenario of the main poultry producing countries, highlighting legislation and recommendations for creation that fall on well-being. Intensive production models cause changes in the behaviors inherent to the species. This
situation occurs due to the experience in a stressful environment, with a high stocking rate when it comes to cut birds
or cage housing throughout the productive period of laying birds. From a practical point of view, positive well-being
