- Improving welfare outcomes associated with fast-growing breed strains.
- Providing enriched environments including natural light, hay bales, litter and perches.
- Ensuring maximum stocking density is equal to/less than 6 pounds per square foot.
- Rendering birds unconscious prior to shackling using Controlled or Low Atmosphere Stunning.
