After considering animal welfare alone, HORIZON FARMS, which is committed to free-range grazing, has made a stall-free declaration, promising to never lock mother pigs into gestation stalls, now and in the future. According to HORIZON FARMS staff, they make procurements while constantly checking with rigorous eyes whether especially the pregnant pigs are spending time relaxed, whether they have good care during child bearing, and whether the interactions between piglets and mother pigs are realized.
At HORIZON FARM, which asserts that “In low-cost, high-volume animal agriculture, animal welfare is ignored. We never compromise the health of the animals and the consumers for the sake of increasing productivity”, they offer meat from small farms around the world, where farmed animals are raised free-range, slowly and carefully according to nature.
It is said that raising livestock free range has many benefits for the surrounding environment, the animals, and us humans. However, many producers say that breeding with emphasis on farm animal health is considerably more costly than mass production by factory farming, and it is difficult to achieve in the current situation of animal agriculture with emphasis on business At HORIZON FARMS, the price is higher than usual, but they handle only meat with consideration for animal welfare and hope that consumers choose such products. They believe that the costs associated with animal welfare are long-term investments in consumer health, sustainable livestock farming, the animals, and the surrounding environment.
