#186 - Animal welfare audits: are you prepared for them? - Emily Erickson The Swine it Podcast Show
-
- Education
Everyone in the swine industry is ethically responsible for protecting our animals as well as promoting their welfare, safeguarding natural resources, and producing safe food. Once we do that, we keep building and improving our customer relationships, because we receive their trust. That's why internal and third-party audits and certification programs are so essential – and to answer many of the questions on pork producers' and managers' minds when it comes to the matter, I talk with Emily Erickson. Ms. Erickson has vast knowledge and experience in that area and in this episode, she explains what the different types of audits are, what an animal welfare audit looks like, and how auditors are trained.
"Do your best with the audits, try to become more familiar with the process, and understand why they are important – it's not someone coming into your farm just to make your day terrible." - Emily Erickson
