Dr. Philip Stayer: Efficiency vs Welfare in Poultry | Ep. 65

Today, I received Dr. Philip Stayer, an independent consultant with over 30 years of experience in the poultry industry, to share his insights on different topics including the core matters of chicken welfare, efficiency trade-offs in the industry, the impacts of responsible antibiotic usage, alternative treatment options, and the importance of biosecurity in modern poultry farming.

"Since the chicken is a flock animal, it naturally wants to be with its companions. It doesn't want to be eaten by a predator and needs food and water. The chicken also seeks a comfortable environment. Therefore, if we meet these needs, the chicken will be in the best state we can provide.
