Promoting more sustainable food systems through animal welfare
Animal welfare is essential to promoting a more sustainable dairy industry, and DeLaval plays an important role in supporting its customers by integrating animal welfare into everything it does.
Animal welfare can be described as the animals’ mental and physical state of well-being. DeLaval is fully committed to following the globally established ‘five freedoms’ of animal welfare. These are: freedom from hunger and thirst; freedom from discomfort; freedom from pain, injury, and disease; freedom to express normal and natural behaviour; and freedom from fear and distress.
