In this episode of Animals in Translation, Sophie, Kerri, and The Cat interview Lisa Yang to discuss her recently published research paper: Animal welfare with Chinese characteristics: Chinese poultry producersâ perceptions of, and attitudes towards, animal welfare. Lisa found that, although poultry producers have an understanding of animal welfare, prioritizing economic motivations is key to successful interventions leading to cage-free housing systems.

Poultry Primer
In this episode, Sophie and Kerri discuss the critical issues surrounding poultry and animal welfare, referencing Ruth Harrison's influential book 'Animal Machines'. They explore the ethical dilemmas of cheap protein production and the harsh realities of industrial farming practices. The conversation highlights the importance of recognizing chickens as individuals and the need for humane treatment throughout their lives, including during slaughter. To help support more humane production practices, buy Certified Humane eggs from producers such as Nest Fresh, who were the first to use the new in-ovo sexed chick technology to avoid chick maceration. This is a primer for the next AIT podcast episode- a deeper dive with researcher, Lisa Yang, on her research about poultry production in China.Â
