OUR WELFARE PROGRAM
Consumers require high quality food that is safe and traceability. That necessitates a food chain that produces fair, responsible and environmental friendly. Food waste and animal welfare are therefore top priorities.
Schaffelaarbos is encouraging the ongoing improvement these topics. This is why our OVOLIN products can be produced from diverse husbandry systems. We separate Cage Free and In-Ovo eggs.
This differentiation helps our customers to choose their feed ingredients consciously.
To make sure that the Cage Free and In-Ovo supply chain of raw materials and process is fully traceable we got certified by KIWA Verin. This certification of animal welfare helps building customer confidence in a responsible agrifood system.

The Dutch House of Representatives wants to ban the killing of day-old chicks
The Dutch House of Representatives wants the killing of day-old chicks to be banned. On Tuesday 15 June, a majority of the House of Representatives supported a motion on this.

Germany and France will ban the killing of day-old chicks by 2022. A majority in the House of Representatives therefore wants such a ban in the Netherlands.

Schaffelaarbos partners with Agri Advanched Technologies GmbH (AAT)

Culling male chicks is coming to an end
Culling day old male chicks from layer breeds is much under debate in the western world. But a reliable solution is there. “In ovo sexing” has become reality and is as accurate as current manual sexing methods.

Under the “respeggt” label, eggs which have been laid by layers which originate from this system, are available in European supermarkets. - By Ad BalThe culling of male chicks from layer breeds directly after hatch, has been common practice for decades (today 300 million in the EU alone).
