Promoting high welfare,animal-sensitive standards of animal husbandry in farming is a major objective of the Animal Welfare Institute(AWI)。In1988,with assistance from farmers,veterinarians and ethologists who specialize in the natural behavior of farmed animals,AWI developed its first set of pig husbandry standards.In1989 pens,and lived without the routine use of antibiotics to promote growth and prevent diseases associated with factory farming.In those days,the Department did not permit the use of the terms“humane”or“natural,”and labels had to specify the claims exactly。AWI called this programPastureland Farms

With the pork from one farm,AWI began a pilot study of consumer demand in an upscale supermarket chain Minnesota,which was already selling free-range chicken and eggs.This effort was highly publicized in hog industry magazines.AWI soon found,however,the hog industry of mand raised pork.Opponents asked,“If you have to pay more for this,what does it say to consumers about out cheaper product?“Subsequently,the retailer pulled the products and thePastureland Farmsprogram was put on hold for several years。

Then,in1997,AWI’s husbandry program was resurrected when an Iowa pig farmer approached the organization and asked if it would approve his farm.AWI visited the farm and found that it met all but two of AWI’s protocols,and after appropriate changes were made on the farm, AWI gave its approval.Additional pig farmers were approved and AWI began expanding the program to embrace other species.By2006,AWI had about500participating farmers in the program。
