It is essential to limit human intervention
It is essential to limit human intervention and approach as close as possible to natural behavior. We pay particular attention to the training of farmers and employees, especially for handling animals.
We are signataries of the SNA. Also, we obtained the code-EFABAR (European Forum of Farm Animal Breeders) approval, which guarantee animal welfare from selection to delivery of the animals to the farm.

Evaluation animal care
In animal husbandry, we use the EBENE audits developed by ITAVI, which allow us to evaluate animal welfare. Grimaud Frères is committed to caring for animals. First of all, because it is the basis for the expression of animal potential. An animal that develops in comfort expresses its full potential.
