5 FOOD AND NUTRITION

REARED FOOD

QuestionAnswer
What is reared food? Reared animals are animals raised by humans specifically for their meat (and other products). E.g. cows are reared for beef and milk, and poultry (birds) for meat and eggs.
What is the characteristic of factory-farmed animals? Factory-farmed animals don't have much room to move.
How are factory-farmed animals kept? What is this type of farming called? They may be in cages with lots of other animals in the same place. This is another form of intensive farming.
Why are factory-farmed animals kept in warm sheds? Animals are kept inside in warm sheds, so they don't waste much energy moving or keeping themselves warm. That means that more of their energy goes into producing meat or eggs for food this maximises food production.
What might animals be given to speed up growth? Animals are sometimes given things like growth hormones or are force-fed to speed up their growth-making it even quicker and cheaper to produce meat.
What is an advantage of factory-farmed food? Factory-farmed food is generally cheaper than free-range - it's a more efficient way of farming, though it isn't as ethical.
Why are people concerned about intensively reared animals? People are becoming more concerned that intensively reared animals don't live very nice lives - -they're more likely to suffer from nasty diseases, they can't behave naturally and are killed at a young age.
What do some people believe about the meat from factory-farmed animals? Some people believe that meat from factory-farmed animals doesn't taste as nice as meat from free-range animals.
When could factory farmed 'broiler' chickens be slaughtered? Factory farmed 'broiler' chickens might be slaughtered after only 6 weeks.
What happened in the EU in 2012? Battery cages for hens were banned throughout the EU in 2012. New 'enriched cages' provide slightly more space and nesting areas, but some people still argue that standards could be better.
What do free-range animals have? Free-range animals have more space.
Why has there be an increase in people buying free-range food? Concerns for how reared animals are kept has led to an increase in people buying free-range food.
What is the difference with free-range food than factory-reared? Free-range food (e.g. eggs) comes from animals that have more space to live than factory-farmed animals - they're often free to roam.
What aren't free-range animals given? Free-range animals have different amounts of space depending on the brand you buy and aren't given hormones to speed up their growth.
What is an advantage and disadvantage of free-range food? They usually have nicer lives because of the higher standard of welfare. Less food can be produced by rearing animals in free-range conditions as they use up more space.
What is the implication of needing more space in free-range farming? Less food can be produced by rearing animals in free-range conditions they use up energy moving around, so take longer to grow. The extra land needed also adds to the cost. This makes products more expensive and they might be beyond some people's budget.
What types of labels are added to foods to show they meet welfare standards? Labels are added to foods to show they meet welfare standards. For example: ASSURED FOOD NDARDS RSPCA ASSURED
What is the Red Tractor symbol? The Red Tractor symbol on products lets consumers know that the producer meets standards of food safety, hygiene, animal welfare and environmental protection set by the Assured Food Standards scheme.
Where can farm assured food be traced back to? Farm assured food can be traced back to the farms they came from.
What is the RSPCA Assured symbol? The RSPCA Assured symbol can be found on epps, fish and meat - to get the logo, producers have to follow strict RSPCA welfare standards.
What are the RSPCA Welfare standards? These standards cover every part of an animal's life, including diet, lighting, bedding and how they're transported.
