The article discusses the influence of poultry rearing system on the quantity and quality of the obtained products, meat and eggs, also in the aspect of consumers preferences. Systems characterised by various levels of intensity were considered. It may be concluded that the characteristics of products’ quality (nutritional, hygienic, sensorial and technological ones) do not vary considerably between the production methods. In some traits organic poultry products are better, in others, conventionally produced ones are superior. It seems that the popularity of the organic system of poultry rearing depends more on consumers’ knowledge about birds’ welfare, their belief in beneficial characteristics of such a kind of products as well as family income because a higher price is the most important factor affecting the purchasing choices.

Environmental conditions in the henhouse should provide birds the good health status resulted from limited harmful microbial development and exposition to infectious diseases. From other side birds kept on the runs may be exposed to greater risk of bacte-rial or viral infections. Extensive poultry production, regardless of birds, generates higher costs of rearing. To obtain satisfying income producers must sell their products at a higher price. It may be the factor limiting consumer to buy products derived from alter-native systems of rearing [Van Loo et al. 2010]. It may be concluded that the characteristics of products quality (nutritional, hygienic, sensorial and technological) do not vary considerably between the production methods. In some traits organic poultry products are better, in others, conventionally produced ones. It seems that popularity of organic system of poultry rearing depends more on con-sumers’ knowledge about birds welfare, their belief in beneficial characteristics of such a kind of products as well as family income because price is the most important factor affecting purchasing choices
