An example of one of the companies is Perdue Farms. The company likes to make sure it has reliable producers. “Producers, in turn, are responsible for providing housing that meets Perdue’s standards for poultry welfare and biosecurity, and for caring for the birds on a daily basis” (perduefarms.com), meaning Perdue ensures that all farms meet their standards to provide their products in a profitable and environmentally responsible manner. In return for caring for the chickens, the company provides farmers with the resources they may need to properly prepare their product. This includes the equipment, the feed for the animals, and then all the scientific experts and lab technicians who work with veterinarians and poultry welfare officers to research what will help the company develop their product.
