RSPCA Standards
Do the RSPCA Approved Farming Scheme standards for salmon address potential environmental impacts?
Compliance with regulatory requirements in relation to environmental impact management and monitoring is a prerequisite of all producers wishing to be certified to an RSPCA Approved Farming Scheme Standard.
Does the RSPCA have animal welfare standards for farmed fish?
The RSPCA Approved Farming Scheme is Australia’s leading independent certification scheme focused on animal welfare. We work closely with farmers to make a positive impact on the lives of farm animals by providing an environment that meets their behavioural needs.
What is induced moulting of layer hens?
Induced moulting in the poultry industry involves artificially forcing hens to moult through manipulating their environment and diet to replicate the natural process of moulting that occurs seasonally in wild birds. This process involves total feed deprivation and/or severe feed restriction for several days to weeks.
What are the RSPCA Approved Farming Scheme standards for pigs?
Through the RSPCA Approved Farming Scheme the RSPCA works closely with farmers committed to raising pigs to higher animal welfare standards. Since releasing our first animal welfare standards for pigs in 2009, more than 1. 5 million pigs have benefitted from better conditions on farm.
