How do egg producers care for their hens?

Responsible animal husbandry is a priority for Canadian egg producers, all of whom ethically care for their animals. Breeding methods adhere to the national Animal Care Program, which is rooted in the National Code of Practice. This Code of Practice was created in partnership with leading veterinarians and scientists, as well as representatives from the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies, industry and government. Producers fund a number of independent research projects on welfare and farming practices, and are committed to applying this knowledge throughout the industry.
