National Turkey Federation Endorses Hybrid Turkeys
TORONTO, March 5, 2014 /CNW/ - The National Turkey Federation (NTF) congratulates Hybrid Turkeys on its decision to incorporate pro-active, forward-looking policies, reviewed and approved by leading veterinary experts, into its animal care program. These policies – particularly the requirement that all on-farm euthanasia be videotaped – demonstrate leadership and an understanding that turkey consumers throughout North America expect the highest standards of animal care in turkey production.
NTF's Animal Care Guidelines are update every two years and subject to rigorous review by veterinarians and other animal care experts. These guidelines serve as a foundation for programs throughout the turkey industry. Like many other NTF members, Hybrid implements additional animal care policies on top of our stringent guidelines. This two-pronged approach to animal welfare assures consumers full confidence in the turkey industry's commitment to animal care, and Hybrid's actions today are another step in furthering that commitment.
