Animal Welfare
The livestock industry and meat production play a crucial role in global food supply. In this context, animal feedlot facilities serve an essential function in meeting the growing demand for animal protein.
Animal Welfare
About the standard
The protocol was developed in 2018 with a focus on continuous improvement and adaptation to the local production context. It assesses everything from herd identification and the facility’s environmental conditions to stress management, access to food and water, disease prevention, and the animal’s natural behavior.
The scheme promotes good practices that have a positive impact on meat quality, system efficiency, and staff safety.

Success Stories
In June 2025, we visited Establecimiento Las Chilcas in the province of Córdoba as part of our work in Animal Welfare.
During the visit, we toured the facilities, observed management practices, and spoke with the team to verify compliance with the scheme’s criteria.
We greatly appreciate the openness and commitment of the establishment to continuous improvement and responsible livestock production!
