Livestock / Animal Husbandry / Poultry farming
German term or phrase: mit/ohne Vorgriff
In a German veterinary report on the use of a vaccine for poultry, the above phrase comes up in descriptions of the type of poultry farms involved as follows:

Tiere in Langmastverfahren mit Vorgriff (34/42 Tage);
95.000 Tierplätze auf 5 verschieden große Ställe verteilt mit 2.000g Tieren ohne Vorgriff.

It would seem that the chickens involved are taken out or not taken out prematurely, but I do not really understand in what way and how that should be best expressed in this context.
