WELFARE

The welfare of the birds is out biggest priority. Healthy hens with good feather cover, lay quality eggs with low antibiotic and chemical use. We use high welfare perching to reduce injurious landings and exceed all RSPCA requirements for nest space, feed lines and drinker lines.

ENVIRONMENT

We have planted 3.5km of new Hedgerows and over 40,000 new trees. Sally farm has developed our own tree nursery to provide new trees across the farm.

We utilise heat exchange technology and a Ground Source Heat Pump whilst promoting a low carbon policy for the running of the poultry farm.

RESEARCH CENTRE

Due to our intelligent “H shape” design we have four identical poultry houses which allows us to conduct controlled trials on a large scale. Presently, we are researching different minimum temperature levels in each poultry house to assess hen welfare and sustainable solutions for the whole industry.

We continue to explore innovative techniques to reduce dust and ammonia emissions, and range management techniques to encourage ranging of the birds.
