• identifying disease and welfare issues that are currently difficult to monitor and quantify
• comparing the burden of disease and welfare issues in each main management system, and in each of the main poultry producing states
• estimating the cost to industry of the prevalence and control of each disease and condition
• undertaking a comparison with any similar study in the United Kingdom and the Netherland
