At Kendamil, we believe that kindness to animals isn’t just a principle—it’s a responsibility. That’s why we prioritize sourcing our dairy from farms in the European Union and the UK, where animal welfare is at the heart of farming practices.
The Gold Standard of European Farming
European dairy regulations are recognized globally for their comprehensive approach to animal welfare. The European Union (EU) has harmonized rules that ensure the humane treatment of all farmed animals, including dairy cattle and goats. These regulations cover every aspect of welfare, from spacious housing and proper nutrition to general care and healthcare. In contrast, the United States lacks federal legislation specifically addressing the welfare of dairy cattle, resulting in a more fragmented and less robust approach.
Research supports the impact of Europe’s stricter laws. Studies have shown that countries like Denmark and Sweden, which implement higher legislative welfare requirements, achieve significantly better outcomes for dairy cattle. This underscores the importance of a strong legislative framework in ensuring animal well-being.
Happy Herds, Healthy Lives
Farms in the EU and Britain adhere to some of the highest animal welfare standards in the world. These include regulations that ensure:
- Spacious Living: Dairy cows and goats enjoy roomy environments where they can move freely, socialize, and express natural behaviors. Many have access to lush pastures, fresh air, and sunshine.
- Optimal Nutrition: Farmers collaborate with nutritionists to provide animals with balanced diets, ensuring their health and productivity.
- Comprehensive Healthcare: Regular vet checkups, vaccinations, and prompt treatment keep herds healthy and thriving.
Certified Compassion
Certifications like Red Tractor and EU Organic go a step further, emphasizing reduced stress, outdoor access, and humane handling practices. These programs ensure that dairy farms meet rigorous standards, giving consumers confidence in their choices.
