Poultry farmer holds back using battery cages over welfare concerns

A poultry farmer in the Bono region is reportedly holding back with plans of using battery cages provided by the government for his poultry farming, highlighting concerns for the welfare of the animals.

When they visited his farm, the poultry farmer told the Animal Welfare League, an animal advocacy nonprofit organisation.

This follows his participation in the organization’s flagship “Improving Poultry Productivity and Welfare” workshop held immediately by Sunyani earlier this year.

There are growing concerns over the usage of battery cages by some veterinary doctors as they believe it could affect the health of the animals.

Dr Emmanuel Nyamekye from the Animal Welfare League highlights some detrimental effects of battery cage usage on poultry.
