A crucial part of our work is advancing and promoting the use of humane methods for the transport and killing of farmed animals globally through research and education. One of the ways that we do this is by funding research that aims to improve animal welfare beyond the farm gate.
At the end of 2023, we awarded £10,000 of funding to a project aiming to improve chicken welfare during transportation in Malawi. The project aspires to replace the traditional method of transporting live chickens to markets (suspended upside down from the handlebars of a bicycle in groups of up to 50 birds) with locally-produced, welfare-friendly crates. It is hoped that 500 chicken vendors will receive the crates and associated training, potentially improving the welfare of hundreds of thousands of chickens annually.
This research project is one of many supported by HSA. With your support, HSA can continue to create lasting and tangible change for food animals all over the world.
