Following the NFU鈥檚 ask for better engagement with egg producers, RSPCA Assured has formed a producer group to gather feedback from laying hen producers on its new and revised assurance standards.
皇家华人has already gathered feedback from members on the potential impact of new standards requiring the installation of verandas on barn units from January 2030, and the provision of natural daylight on all sites by January 2031.
We continue to feed this information in to RSPCA Assured.
However, it is important that egg producers also take this opportunity to feed back on the impact of all of the new and revised standards that RSPCA Assured intends to implement from 1 February 2025.
NFU survey
皇家华人sought views from members to feed into the NFU鈥檚 response. The questions reflected the different sections of the standards:聽
- Environment
- Range
- Management
- Health
- Transport and slaughter/killing
Producers were urged to read through the latest version of the new and revised RSPCA Assured laying hen standards before filling out the survey.
This survey is now closed.聽
