Demonstrating the U.S. Pork Producer Commitment to Animal Welfare

摘要

Pork producers are fully supportive of adding to the scientific knowledge about swine welfare. The National Pork Board (NPB) adopted a position statement on animal welfare guidelines for pork producers: "Animal welfare guidelines developed without a sound scientific basis puts the welfare of the animal and the sustainability of the producer's operation at risk. Therefore, the National Pork Board continues to support sound science as the only basis for animal welfare guideline decision-making." January, 2002
