-there are standards in feed, water, environment, transport, processing, and health for broilers and layers.
-Labels like grass fed or free range help assure consumers about their food choices.
-more advanced technology reassures consumers that the poultry industry takes us less resources than it did years ago (land, feed, water, time).
-The Land Lab follows the standards by having a suitable environment for layer and broilers. We give them the food and water we are allowed to have by the standards.
