Did you know that the Swan Valley is a Humane Food Region?
The vast majority of consumers probably don’t think twice about where the food on their plate comes from however, the Swan Valley is looking to change this mind set.
The Swan Valley Humane Food Region program which is based on the RSPCA’s national Choose Wisely scheme is supported by 30 of the Swan Valley’s restaurants and cafes, which is committed to serving only humanely farmed eggs, chicken and pork.
What’s The Difference?
Eggs
Barn-laid eggs come from hens housed in a large barn or shed where they’re able to move around, stretch, flap their wings and socialise. Hens in barns are also able to lay their eggs in a nest and some will also have access to perches and litter for dust bathing. But most importantly, hens aren’t confined to cages.
Free-range eggs come from hens that are able to go outside during the day. Conditions on free-range farms vary. A good free-range farm will allow hens access to a well-spaced outdoor area, which includes shade and protection from predators.
Chicken
Higher welfare indoor means that chickens are raised in a large barn or shed where their physical and behavioural needs are met. With room to move freely and dry litter for foraging, dust bathing and the prevention of burns and blisters. There are also perches and proper lighting, to encourage activity.
Free-range chickens have access to an outdoor area during the day. At night, they’re kept in sheds or barns. Conditions on free-range farms vary greatly. On good free-range farms, the range area is large, provides grass for foraging and has access to shade and shelter.
Pork
Bred free-range pork comes from pigs that are born in a free-range environment, but are raised indoors. This could mean they’re raised in large open sheds with straw bedding or in pens with concrete floors. The sows always have access to the outdoors.
Free-range pork comes from pigs that were born and raised with free access to the outdoors. This means that the sows and growing piglets have access to paddocks, as well as huts or other forms of housing for shelter, and they’re not confined to sow stalls or farrowing crates.
