Our operation
Animal welfare
Big River Pork is committed to ensuring all animals are handled humanely, with strong internal standards of training, awareness and application of animal welfare priorities.
Monitored and verified
Audited and trained for, not assumed
We monitor our impact on the animals we handle and participate in regular independent audits to verify that our systems deliver the high welfare standards we demand of ourselves.
Independent oversight
Government regulators, on site and on the floor
Regulatory officials work here as part of the day-to-day operation, checking our practice as it happens rather than reviewing it after the fact.
