Poultry Welfare

Poultry welfare refers to ensuring that chickens and other birds are raised in conditions that meet their physical and psychological needs. This includes proper space to move, access to clean water and nutritious food, protection from pain and injury, and opportunities for natural behaviors like dust bathing and foraging. Good welfare also involves minimizing stress, illness, and overcrowding. When poultry are cared for appropriately, they are healthier, more comfortable, and less prone to disease, leading to better quality products and ethical treatment. Overall, poultry welfare emphasizes humane and responsible practices in bird farming.
