Um Animal welfare approved

Über das Unternehmen

Promoting high welfare, animal-sensitive standards of animal husbandry in farming is a major objective of the Animal Welfare Institute (AWI). In 1988, with assistance from farmers, veterinarians and ethologists who specialize in the natural behavior of farmed animals, AWI developed its first set of pig husbandry standards. In 1989, AWI obtained the first USDA-approved label for pork from pigs who were raised on family farms, able to roam free on pastures or in bedded pens, and lived without the routine use of antibiotics to promote growth and prevent diseases associated with factory farming.
