ANIMAL AGRICULTURE ALLIANCE

Established in 1987, the Animal Agriculture Alliance includes individuals, companies, and organizations who are interested in helping consumers better understand the role animal agriculture plays in providing a safe, abundant food supply to a hungry world. By speaking with a common voice, the Alliance will ensure consistent, accurate messages based on sound science are communicated to the general public.

Efforts focus on bringing truthful, science-based information to consumers so the role of animal agriculture in feeding a hungry world is better understood and appreciated.

To promote animal well-being and produce animal food products of the highest quality, the Animal Agriculture Alliance recommends adherence to the animal care principles that follow. These principles are the essential building blocks for professional animal care. Owners and managers of animal operations are committed to these principles.

The health and well-being of animals raised for food may be judged using science-based behavioral, physiological, biochemical, pathological criteria, and other characteristics. These criteria are all used to assess well-being; all have shortcomings when used individually. A combination of these criteria generally provides the best assessment of animal well-being.
