Animal welfare
At Norsk Kylling, we work with animal welfare and health for hens, roosters, eggs, and chickens. For us, animal welfare is a fundamental part of the business. We have a strong commitment to the animals throughout the entire value chain and maintain high standards of animal welfare both on the farms and in our production facilities.
Animal Welfare Declaration
Responsibility and transparency come with obligations. That is why we have adopted a declaration that outlines the standards we uphold for animal welfare.
Excerpt from the Animal Welfare Declaration at Norsk Kylling
We shall be open and honest about what we do.
Norsk Kylling has built, and will maintain and develop, a competence environment with a dedicated department for animal welfare.
All cases of illness and deviations experienced by the farmers shall immediately be followed up by a veterinarian from Norsk Kylling, and all farmers shall be assured that they receive help when needed.
We listen to and invite animal welfare organisations into our development plans, include them in the value chain, and strive to achieve an open and trust-based dialogue around animal welfare.
We shall not use antibiotics in feed or as preventive treatment. For treatment of sick animals, antibiotics shall be used according to the principle: “as little as possible, but as much as necessary.”
Our Animal Welfare Declaration sets clear commitments for ethical and responsible operations throughout the entire value chain, from hatchery to slaughter and processing. We are proud to be extraordinarily transparent in everything we do.
