Better WelFare
Well-being is highly valued
At Roosterz&Co, we believe in providing unique and responsible products for our customers. We take pride in not only offering exceptionally tasty products but also ensuring that our chickens live and are treated under loving conditions. This way you can enjoy our delicious products with piece of mind.
Our commitment to ensuring the well-being of our chickens goes beyond the basic principles of general European legislation. We ensure that our chickens have enough space to move and exhibit their natural behaviour. This is essential for creating happy and healthy animals, resulting in high-quality meat that is free from stress.
The well-being of our chickens is of great importance to us, which is why we have established specific policies to avoid the use of preventive antibiotics. We do not want our chickens to be unnecessarily exposed to antibiotics. When the chickens are sick, we only use antibiotics if necessary for their treatment. This reduces the risk of antibiotic resistance and minimizes our customers’ exposure to antibiotic residues in the meat. We provide our customers with safe meat that meets the highest standards of our chickens’ health and well-being.
The convenient table next to this provides an overview of the differences between our chickens and the chickens raised on a large scale for food production. For example, our chickens have more living space per animal, and we provide them with dietary variety, resulting in a healthier and tastier product.
