The Norwegian Poultry Association ( Norwegian: Norsk Fjørfelag) is the largest Norwegian professional association for poultry farming, with approximately 950 members organised into 12 regional teams as of 2018. [1]
The Norwegian Poultry Association was founded on 27 June 1884 as the Norwegian Poultry Breeding Association ( Norwegian: Norsk fjørfeavlslag). [1]
The association's first concern after formation was improving the quality of the Norwegian chicken stock, and began to import chickens from abroad. [2]
In November 2019, the association attributed a decline in the consumption of white meat in Norway to a rise in vegetarianism. [3]
Ingunn Dalaker Øderud became the association's first female chairperson in March 2021, succeeding Kolbjørn Frøseth. [4]
In May 2020, the association called for economic support from the Minister of Agriculture and Food for poultry farmers in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. [5]
