ANIMAL WELLNESS

SPACE

The livestock industry in the southern hemisphere has large areas of grassland where cattle and sheep have space and can graze year-round. Calves and lambs continue to walk with their mothers after birth and only put out into separate pastures at a later stage. This is crucial for the young animals to get a healthy start.

GRASS-FED AND GRAIN-FED
Two terms where grass fed means that the animal actually grows up on and off the grass. Grain fed means that the animal first grows up the same way on grass and is fed a balanced diet of natural raw materials such as grain and corn for at least 4 months later in life, this is mainly in cattle. Lambs are always grain-fed.
