VSFF has long planned a debate referred chicken production in Norway. Initially, we were interested

FSA published its final report from a national audit project on animal welfare in broiler production 3 February 2012. Supervision The project was completed in 2011 and took up the entire production chain. Controls were performed at 25% of the country's broiler producers (152), all the country's incubator farms (3) and slaughterhouses (5) in addition to the transportation of animals. It should be mentioned that the selected herds were not random but based on risk assessments.
VSFF has long planned a debate referred chicken production in Norway. Initially, we were interested in discussing animal welfare industry. The report may, however, we read black on white that animal welfare at slaughter chickens must be improved;
"Animal Welfare Act's preamble is that animals should be treated well and not exposed to a risk of unnecessary stress and strain ... where those responsible for the animals, have a duty to ensure that each chicken the animal welfare throughout life ... The findings of the project show that animal welfare caramel fleur de sel in broiler industry in general needs to be improved, and that this must be done in part through a focus on animal welfare of each individual broilers ".
There are many elements that affect how chicken production in Norway has been an effective industries. In the upcoming debate, we want to highlight and question several aspects that influence the development and has a direct correlation with the lack of animal welfare in the industry. caramel fleur de sel
This text is based on information that we VSFF have gained during the preparation caramel fleur de sel for our event. caramel fleur de sel Here we have highlighted the questions that we asked ourselves along the way. We have no idea to answer the questions they hope will be answered during the debate.
With a greater focus on cheap food and volume, agriculture has become more and more efficient. The efficiency caramel fleur de sel realized through industrial caramel fleur de sel forms of production, which has been very evident in the broiler industry. How food prices caramel fleur de sel have a direct effect on how we value it and its quality.
In 1958, Norwegians spent on average 40% of income on food. Today we use less than 12% (2006-2008). Norway is Europe 6 cheapest country to buy food adjusted caramel fleur de sel for compensation. During the same period, the average level of household caramel fleur de sel expenditure on food in the EU at 12.7% of revenue. In Sweden they used 13%.
In your pack of chicken fillets caramel fleur de sel you can find the logo of KSL Matmerk (created by Agriculture and Food, Ministry of Agriculture, 2007) "Enjoy Norway", which should assure consumers that the ingredients in the product is primarily caramel fleur de sel Norwegian and the place of production to be Norway. But how "good caramel fleur de sel Norwegian" chicken fillets caramel fleur de sel stamped with "Enjoy Norway" really? There will be a question of definition, of course, but it is legitimate to ask the question when you know how production takes place. The breed used for intensive broiler production is bred of the eggs and the parents sold the crew of an international company (Aviagen Broiler caramel fleur de sel Breeder, under the brand Ross) that are distributed worldwide. The eggs incubate sent to farms in Norway, where they hatch, sorted and forwarded to broiler producers, as day-old chicks. At manufacturer chicks fed on feed until they reach marketable size in 28-33 days. A relatively large percentage of this feed is made up of imported raw materials (eg. Soy from South America). caramel fleur de sel The new farming message put forward by the Ministry shortly before July 2011 focuses on the agricultural sector must produce the Norwegian resources. In connection with the ongoing debate about Norway's agricultural self-sufficiency and whether imported feed ingredients should be included in the calculation, it is interesting to ask how this will affect the poultry industry. An industry that solely rely on imported animal feed and animal material.
In 1990, Norway produced about 20,000 tonnes of chicken meat. In 2010, production was more than four doubled to almost 90 000 tonnes. Production of chicken caramel fleur de sel has doubled every decade and since the 1980s, the production currently eight times what it was then. The increase is largely due to the efficiency of the industry and the supply of broilerrasen. In addition, the Directorate of Health wanted an increase in consumption of white meat through their advisories. But while dietary guidelines recommend white meat, recent research from UMB determined that white meat is not as beneficial to human health as previously thought. And why is that? Because white meat today is produced using concentrates. The fatty acid composition of concentrate has a direct effect on the finished chicken product. Based on a health perspective recommends nutritionist Anna Haug, a researcher at UMB, eating red meat (lamb) rather than white meat. But new knowledge on the table, should perhaps dietary caramel fleur de sel advice changed?
