Animal Care Program

Animal Care Program

The HANOR Company is committed to the proper and ethical treatment of animals. Our Animal Care Program focuses on animal welfare, utilizing practices that ensure the safe treatment and handling of all animals in our care.

We support the Pork Checkoff’s We Care℠ initiative, acknowledging our farm’s responsibility to:

  • Produce safe food.
  • Protect and promote animal well-being.
  • Ensure practices to protect public health.
  • Safeguard natural resources in all of our practices.
  • Provide a work environment that is safe and consistent with our other ethical principles.
  • Contribute to a better quality of life in our communities.
Each of these programs, designed by the National Pork Board, work to promote pork quality and safety and provide the framework for animal well-being and good production practices. All members of our team – from facility owners to animal caretakers to drivers who transport hogs – have a responsibility to do his or her part to demonstrate a commitment to the responsible and ethical treatment of the animals in our care.

Our farms receive feedback based on annual internal site assessments and external third party audits.

Biosecurity Program

Biosecurity is a series of management practices designed to prevent the introduction and spread of diseases into a farm. HANOR farms are managed and monitored closely to prevent potential introduction of pathogens that could be harmful to the health and well-being of our animals. Part of our prevention strategy is to understand risks associated with routine practices inside farms, as well as those related to any external components coming into contact with farms. The protection of farms and animals from these risks is called Biosecurity.
