CONSUMERS ARE increasingly concerned about the treatment of animals and the well-being of farmed animals is strongly associated with the quality , and even the safety , of food . As consumer awareness of animal welfare issues continues to rise , the demand for products complying with animal welfare standards is growing , giving producers who maintain these high standards a competitive advantage .
Likewise , the food industry is taking more action to better implement animal welfare management . The new ISO technical specification ISO / TS 34700:2016 , Animal welfare management – General requirements and guidance for organisations in the food supply chain , will help the food and feed industry to develop an animal welfare plan that is aligned with the principles of the World Organisation of Animal Health ( OIE ) Terrestrial Animal Health Code ( TAHC ) and ensure the welfare of farm animals across the supply chain .
