The Good Chicken Production Award recognises Chinese producers that are making significant commitments to improving the welfare of broilers by meeting five basic requirements which focus on: more space (maximum stocking density of 33kg/m2) and a commitment to end the use of any caged systems, providing birds with a suitable environment (including temperature control and good air quality), detailed record keeping as well as meeting several stipulated food safety requirements.
The awards are scored from 1 (basic requirements met) to 5 Stars, depending on the number of additional welfare criteria met, either as a current policy or commitment within five years. These criteria include: Indoor environmental enrichment, use of slower growing breeds, increased space and management provisions.
ICCAW and Compassion worked together on the eligibility and criteria for the Good Chicken Production Award. Read more here.
