An Industry Driven by Animal Welfare Practices, Sustainable Production
U.S. Poultry & Egg Association agrees chickens and other animals raised for food should be treated humanely while meeting the safest food standards for consumers. Our industry embraces animal welfare practices and sustainable production concepts that are guided by science
The egg industry has been phasing from caged housing to newer systems that meet many consumer’s demands. This progression in animal h ousing provides 70 percent more space. Our industry is always looking to improve through processes that are proven and effective
A recent activist’s video unfairly taints the entire chicken industry. Humane slaughter is important to our industry, and we are governed by requirements under the Poultry Products Inspection Act. By law, the Agriculture Department provides around - the - clock, on - site inspectors that can take enforcement action for mistreatment if spotted.
