US beef company adopts new Temple Grandin standard
19/06/2019
Animals are inspected for health, injuries, cleanliness and signs of overall level of care from their previous owners.
Dr Grandin is a well-respected animal scientist who has developed animal standards that have been adopted around the world. She believes those involved in food animal production have the highest commitment to animal husbandry and demonstrate their commitment through such venues as third-party verification of compliance with high standards.
Perry Coughlin, President and CEO of Nolan Ryan Beef, said: “We feel this is an essential step in ensuring the continuous improvement of animal welfare throughout the supply chain.
“We understand the proper care and handling of livestock is an ethical responsibility for everyone involved in this industry. Not only does it make good business sense, but it aligns with our mission and core values.”
