Our customers’ supply chains often start with the breeders and animal feed manu­fac­turers and go all the way to the trans­for­ma­tion plants. Our contri­bu­tion is not only aimed at meeting and respecting the regu­la­tions in force, but also enhancing prod­ucts by means of certi­fi­ca­tion. We verify that the proce­dures carried out by the compa­nies are correct and if they are not, we recom­mend inter­ven­tions to help them attain accept­able results.

Our team includes veteri­nar­ians certi­fied by the CReNBA who assess animal welfare.

True welfare is the ability of the animal to adapt to the envi­ron­ment it finds itself in. It is there­fore impor­tant to assess the envi­ron­mental context, how the live­stock farm is managed and the effects these factors have on the animals themselves.

For many years, the Isti­tuto Zoopro­fi­lat­tico of Brescia has success­fully trans­formed a philos­ophy into a scien­tific approach to live­stock farming, which stems from the Five Free­doms orig­i­nating in the 1965 Bram­bell Report:

  • Freedom from hunger or thirst
  • Freedom from discom­fort or the provi­sion of an appro­priate envi­ron­ment, including shelter and a comfort­able resting area
  • Freedom from pain, injury or disease
  • Freedom to express normal behav­iour by providing suffi­cient space, proper facil­i­ties and company of the animal’s own kind
  • Freedom from fear and distress

The animal welfare and biosafety eval­u­a­tion system for bovine farming (beef cattle and dairy cattle) estab­lished by the CReNBA (Italian National Animal Welfare Refer­ence Centre) at the Isti­tuto Zoopro­fi­lat­tico of Brescia, exam­ines all of these aspects. The system requires a qual­i­fied assessor to complete a check list that comprises funda­mental points including stall manage­ment, eval­u­a­tion of the struc­tures, measure­ments of specific para­me­ters related to the animals, biosafety and an assess­ment of large-scale risks. The data gath­ered is submitted to the CReNBA, which issues a certifi­cate of Animal Welfare and Biosafety that includes the amount of points given as a result of the assessment.

ANIMAL WELFARE IS A QUES­TION OF BALANCE.

The welfare of an animal is its state as regards to its attempts to cope with its environment.”
(Broom, 1986).
