In 2011, the Hungarian Poultry Council adopted a Code of Good Practice for the fat palmipeds sector (in Hungarian). This Code, which is more ambitious than the legislation in force in the country, lays down rules governing in particular the different stages of feeding and housing of animals. Adhesion to the code is voluntary, but anyone who agrees to comply with the code must abide by it.
