GOOD COW WELFARE

Five aspects of animal welfare

Animal health directly affects the health of the planet and the food system in general. Vinamilk understands that dairy farming on farms has a direct impact on biodiversity, animal’s welfare and rights. Therefore, we always aim at “humane husbandry”, creating the most comfortable living environment for the cows including physical and mental aspects and bringing “natural life” to the cows, through which contributing to improving the productivity and economic efficiency of livestock farming.


Nutrition

Animals have access to adequate, balanced, varied and clean food and water.

Environment

Factors that create comfort through temperature, space, air, smell, noise and predictability.

Health

The factor that creates good health and physical conditions, no illness, injury, impairment of health.

Behavior

The factors that provide diverse, novel and engaging environmental challenges through sensory input, exploration, foraging, bonding, playing, retreating and others.

Mental state

Animals will benefit from positive states such as happy, relaxed or energetic and reduce negative states such as fear, frustration, hunger, pain or boredom.
