This is a date between the birth and the slaughter of animals. I cannot figure out what it means but this date has to be supplied to the food chain inspection. Does anyone know what it means. It is used both for poultry and cattle.
My example is from a Flemish document but it is used in Dutch texts as well.

Not absolutely sure this would apply for cattle, but this seems to be the term for poultry. Found this PhD thesis on "Using Management Information in Broiler Supply Chains" (written in English, admittedly for Wageningen University but language seems fine), which has EN and NL abstract:

In addition to the determination of an optimal laying length of an existing flock, the result of the model enables breeder farmers to determine the purchasing and housing date of a new flock. Furthermore, the result from the model can be used for planning purposes at the hatcheries and rearing farms.
In aanvulling op het bepalen van het vervangingsmoment van een zittende koppel kan het model gebruikt worden voor het bepalen van de aankoop- en opzetdatum van de volgende vermeerderingskoppel. Ook kan het vervangingsmodel gebruikt worden voor het maken van de planning van de nieuwe koppels op broederijen en opfokbedrijven.
This UK document also uses housing date (not explained): http://www.morrishatchery.com/mngmt_guides/ISA Brown Guide-N...

Comment: "Thanks for everyone's help. It is indeed the date that the fattening of the animal starts."

See: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q="housing date" chickens&sa... (Google search: "housing date" chickens)

Some people also just say: 'the day of entry to the fattening unit'.
You 'lay' pigs 'down', whereas you 'set' chickens 'op', or so it seems.
'
But I still don't know what 'opzetdatum' means here. I think we need a chicken specialist. Barend?
Vleeskuikens opzetten is het gemakkelijkste, want hier kan je constant aangeraken, in tegenstelling tot raskippen. Je kan dan om de zoveel weken 10 kuikens opzetten en dan 6-8 weken later slachten (levend gewicht van 2 tot 3,5 kilo en meer)."
I don't think it is the same as "oplegdatum" Michael. Can't find anything that suggests this, I'm afraid.
= (de somvan alle dood aangetroffen braadkippen / aantal opgezette kuikens) x 100
Deze mortaliteit moet lager liggen dan 1 % + (0,06 x slachtleeftijd)
B.v. Opzetdatum= dag 1, datumvan laden = dag 40
-> Slachtleeftijd = 41 dagen
-> Mortaliteitlager dan 1 % + (0,06 x 41) = 3,46 %
!De uitgeselecteerde kippen worden hier nietmeegeteld
