Welfare is a complex topic
Our experienced operators make assessments based on available data along with comments from the farm.
To understand the welfare of the birds OPTIfarm assess animal welfare following the principles of the globally recognised Five Freedoms;
- FREEDOM FROM HUNGER AND THIRST
- FREEDOM FROM DISCOMFORT
- FREEDOM FROM PAIN, INJURY OR DISEASE
- FREEDOM TO EXPRESS NORMAL BEHAVIOUR
- FREEDOM FROM FEAR AND DISTRESS
Observing bird welfare every 90 minutes 24 hours a day 7 days a week, gives the best possible conditions for the birds.
