We recently met with The chairman of association of Turkey and Allied birds Farmers and Marketers of Nigeria to discuss the implementation of a free cage system for chickens. Our conversation focused on the ethical and practical considerations surrounding the confinement of chickens in small cages.

The discussion emphasized the inherent cruelty of conventional cage systems, which limit the movement and natural behaviors of chickens. Confinement leads to suffering and compromised health for the animals, raising concerns about their welfare.

Transitioning to a free cage system presents an opportunity for Foresight Farms to demonstrate a commitment to animal welfare and sustainability. Free-range chickens have access to outdoor areas where they can engage in natural behaviors, resulting in healthier and happier birds.

Furthermore, there are economic benefits associated with adopting a free cage system, including reduced veterinary costs and potential market premiums for ethically produced products. Embracing sustainable and ethical practices can also align with consumer preferences and regulatory trends, mitigating long-term business risks.

Overall, the meeting was a step towards promoting compassionate and sustainable farming practices. Advocating for a free cage system for chickens aligns with the goal of creating a better future for farm animals while meeting the expectations of consumers and stakeholders in the industry.
