Poultry slaughterhouse Remkes whitens floor to reduce heat stress

June 29, 2020

Per the advice of Eyes on Animals, poultry slaughterhouse Remkes whitewashed the floor of their covered parking lot for poultry trucks. By whitening it, the floor reflects more sunlight and therefor decreases the temperature of the parking area. The temperature above the white floors are about 3-4 degrees lower than above regular floors – therefore reducing the risk for heat stress for the chickens waiting in the trucks. With these changes, Remkes makes an important improvement in animal welfare. Remkes is also experimenting with other measures to reduce heat stress. We would like to compliment Remkes on their efforts against heat stress.

We continue to emphasize that slaughterhouses need to build larger and cooled lairages so that the animals can be unloaded immediately upon arrival and do not have to wait in a parking area.

I want to tell you about Akuba. A young sow we met last week in Ghana. We were there in the first two weeks of December, inspecting and improving slaughterhouses together with the local NGO WACPAW. Our goal: curb the intense suffering of animals that is going on there.

Het kan het einde betekenen van de veehouderij zoals we die kennen in Nederland. Door een nieuwe wet moet dierenwelzijn voorop staan: varkens moeten vrij kunnen wroeten en koeien en kalveren samen kunnen leven. Althans, dat wil de Tweede Kamer.

Daar zou Gandhi anders over hebben gedacht. "Bijna alles wat je doet is onbelangrijk, maar het is heel belangrijk dat je het doet".
