Healthier Farm Animals, Healthier Communities
Animal welfare organisation calls for better animal welfare to help reduce disease risks and build a healthier future for South Africans.
As World Farm Animals Day approaches on 2 October, global animal welfare organisation is highlighting the important link between farm animal welfare, public health and resilient food systems.
Scientific evidence continues to demonstrate that the health of people, animals and the environment are interconnected. Improving the welfare of farm animals and reducing stocking densities can help reduce disease risks, decrease reliance on antibiotics and contribute to safer, more sustainable food production.
With South Africans increasingly concerned about public health and the impact of climate-related challenges on agriculture, animal welfare organisation is urging consumers, industry and policymakers to recognise animal welfare as part of the solution.
The organisation notes that improving welfare standards can support animal health while helping to eliminate the need for routine antibiotic use, an important consideration as antimicrobial resistance continues to be recognised as a growing global health concern.
This World Farm Animals Day, animal welfare organisation encourages South Africans to learn more about where their food comes from and support farming systems that prioritise animal welfare, sustainability and responsible food production.
