Responsible Breeding

Farm animal breeders are at the start of the food supply chain. Breeders play an import role in the delivery of safe, healthy and responsible food. For many generations, breeders have selected certain animals with improved features for further reproduction.

Through Code-EFABAR, breeders demonstrate their commitment to responsible farm animal breeding, following high standards of animal management and positively contributing to a more sustainable future.
