The main objective of discussions about animal welfare is to stop needless suffering. It is not acceptable for horses, dogs, or other animals to suffer. As seen by the millions of broiler chicks that are sold in American stores and fed in canteens and schools each year, American farming has a reputation for doing things right.

Even though we can't inquire about the hens' wellbeing, we know that wounds and bleeding are signs of trouble. We therefore regularly check hens for a condition known as foot pad burns. Burns occur when animals come into touch with substances that irritate their skin, such as bedding that is wet or contains ammonia. The farmers do everything they can to keep the hens healthy. As a result, chicken feet cost more at the butcher shop.

By working hard and effectively, the American broiler chicken business has overcome the odds in eliminating foot pad burns: the foot pad burn reduction approach works. It also involves the quickest and least painful methods of catching, moving, and killing chickens. Once more, this is to guarantee that the welfare standard, meat free of salmonella, and sustainable food production are upheld.
