Using dual-purpose (DP) types is one solution to avoid the culling of male layer cockerels in poultry production. In organic poultry meat production, a longer fattening period with slower growth is aimed at. In the present experiment carcass and meat quality of two DP types, Lohmann Dual and Novogen Dual, were therefore compared with birds from an extensive broiler type and layer hybrid cockerels. The DP types were competitive against the extensive broilers in carcass weight, water- holding capacity and shear force of the meat, with the clear exception of breast meat proportion. The birds from the layer hybrid were clearly inferior in carcass quality to all other groups, whereas meat quality was similar.
