Our 2025 Animal Care Report
At Perdue Farms, caring for the animals entrusted to us is a responsibility we take seriously and a reflection of the values that guide us. We believe in doing what’s right for our animals, our farmers, our consumers, and our future. That belief drives our commitment to responsible animal care. Working alongside farmers, ranchers, veterinarians, animal welfare professionals, researchers, and independent experts, we continually assess our practices, challenge ourselves to improve, and look for new ways to support the health and well-being of the animals in our care. We're proud to share our 2026 Animal Care Report, where you will find our animal care philosophy, progress, and priorities during FY2026 (April 2025-March 2026).

Animal Care Legacy: “It’s The Right Thing To Do”
Our Animal Care Legacy
Throughout our company’s history, we’ve recognized we have a responsibility to provide for the welfare of the animals in our care. It’s a fundamental part of our business.
Our Animal Care Culture in Action
For us, animal welfare is a journey of continuous improvement, and we are dedicated to consistently raising the bar by learning, listening, and responding. Watch highlights from our 2025 Animal Care Summit to see how we are advancing our culture of animal care.
Quote from Bobbi Jo Webber,
"The animals are treated with the best care and it's not just a facade. This is really what my farm looks like everyday. It's beautiful, there's windows, they run around, it's not dusty and there's no cages."
Quote from Steven Brake (North Carolina)
"When we are able to let poultry have access to sunlight, fresh air or an opportunity to be outside when feasible, we show that, though we are growing an animal as a food source, we understand the instincts and needs for such basic pleasures. I am proud to say I work in partnership with a company that values the creatures in our care."
Quote from Kenneth Young (Georgia)
"Perdue is leading the industry in putting the chicken first. This care and attention to bird health will in turn increase the stability of future income for each Perdue grower."
Quote from Andrew deCoriolis
"Perdue's continuous improvement in animal welfare meets consumers' demands and shows other companies that higher welfare is not only possible, but profitable. By improving the welfare of chickens, Perdue is building a stronger relationship with consumers and farmers. Perdue's commitment to transparency and continuous improvement should be welcome news for any consumer who eats chicken."
Openness & Transparency
As part of our pledge "to be transparent in our programs, goal and progresses," we committed to share key animal care metrics, openly criticize ourselves when appropriate, and honestly and respectfully answer those who constructively criticize us.
