Before you get started
What is RSPCA Assured higher-welfare farming?
Higher-welfare farming includes a set of rules that make animals’ lives better, such as:
- Pigs are not kept in cages, meaning sows (mother pigs) are free to live with their piglets and raise them naturally.
- Chickens must have dust baths, raised perches and areas to feel safe when outdoors.
- Cows must have environmental enrichment (like cow brushes, which they can use to groom and scratch themselves) and access to suitable pasture for as much of the year as possible.
