According to the lawsuit, the chickens were subjected to suffering between January and June 2025.
According to the county administrative board, ammonia levels in parts of the stable were so high that inspectors had to wear protective masks to carry out the inspection. Levels were measured that were above those permitted for poultry.
Dead chickens were also found, several were missing feathers and were in poor condition. There were also water leaks and a broken manure belt, which are said to have contributed to the poor environment.
The county administrative board considered taking the animals into care but instead decided to slaughter the chickens earlier than planned.
The accused man denies the crime.
