Good animal welfare is an essential consideration as we build sustainable businesses to produce high-quality, affordable animal proteins. Healthy and happy animals lead to better productivity, as animals that are well-cared for are less likely to get sick or injured, thus preventing losses. At Japfa, we are committed to maintain high animal welfare standards and to integrate strict measures into our day-to-day operations through the adoption of the Five Freedom of Animal Welfare

We ensure a favourable living environment for our animals to thrive:

• We produce a balanced feed, in line with nutritional needs during each growing phase;
• We implement proper and safe handling practices to reduce animal stress at farms, hatcheries and during transportation;
• We implement stringent biosecurity protocols to create a healthy environment for our animals; and
• We vaccinate our animals to boost the immune system as a preventive measure to strengthen resilience against animal health threats. Our subsidiary Vaksindo is a leading poultry vaccine producer in Indonesia. You can read more about Vaksindo here
