Our animals are fed 100% vegetable grain and are raised on Canadian farms. All of our pigs are raised in open pens where they can freely move around, sleep and socialize with other animals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An animal health program is developed for each animal that supports their wellbeing, health and rapid diagnosis and treatment in the event of illness. This includes vaccination protocols, accurate record keeping, and training for everyone who handle animals. It covers how to introduce new arrivals to the herd, how to treat sick or injured animals, and how to humanely euthanize animals if needed. Veterinarians have a key role in helping producers to meet these requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of our animals are checked and monitored daily by trained barn staff to ensure our pigs are healthy and free of any injuries. Specialized internal auditors conduct weekly and monthly animal welfare audits. Any issues are immediately followed up on. All barns that supply our animals are audited annually by an independent auditor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/greenfieldmeat.com\/us\/our-standards\/\">learn more about the greenfield difference<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n\t<section id=\"accordion-block_5f89e07f18de0\" class=\"accordion is-style-background-color\">\n\t\t<div class=\"accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion-header \">\n\t\t\t\t<h2>What does raised without antibiotics mean?<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\n<p>Greenfield Natural Meat Co.\u2122 meat products are made from animals raised without any antibiotics \u2013 ever!

This includes a customized, highly nutritious feed formulation that promotes natural immunity, rigorous animal husbandry and barn management practices to control for the spread of disease, and continuous monitoring of herd health.

We keep animals within their same group through their lifetime to support natural behaviour, socializing and to minimize aggression. We are converting our breeding sows to open housing as well, and we plan to fully complete this transition by the end of 2021. We are also adding enrichment to all our pens to provide stimulation and reduce boredom among these intelligent animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our barns are clean and temperature controlled. They are thoroughly washed, disinfected and dried between each batch of pigs so that every new group of animals has a warm dry environment when they enter the barn. Temperature and ventilation settings are carefully set to match the requirements of each growth stage. Barn environments are monitored daily to ensure that conditions are not altered by external temperatures or weather. Alarm systems protect the barn from sudden changes that could result from power outages or equipment failure. If these events occur, backup generators maintain a constant environment for the animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-3 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/greenfieldmeat.com\/us\/humanely-raised\/\">learn more about how we humanely raise our animals<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n\t<section id=\"accordion-block_5fa196978f7ce\" class=\"accordion is-style-background-color\">\n\t\t<div class=\"accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion-header \">\n\t\t\t\t<h2>WHAT DOES GESTATION CRATE FREE MEAN?<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\n<p>Gestation crate free is a type of housing system for sows (pregnant pigs) and can also be referred to as advanced open sow housing.
