ForewordDr Tracey JonesGLOBAL DIRECTOR OF FOOD BUSINESSCOMPASSION IN WORLD FARMINGAll animals used to produce our food deservea good quality of life and a humane end.Irrespective of our place in the farm to forkcycle, it’s a responsibility we all share.We entrust food companies to be responsiblestewards of the animals in their supply, to deliverthe best welfare possible while producingdelicious, safe food, with increasing attentionto its impact on the environment. Such corporatesocial responsibility is driven by a range ofstakeholders, including consumers, governments,NGO’s, and investors, as well as companiesthemselves, coupled with a desire to do theright thing for people, the planet, and animals.Recognising animals as sentient beings is afundamental part of doing the right thing forthem. Being sentient means that animals canfeel a range of emotions from pain to joy, andcan lead complex, active lives if given theopportunity. Acknowledging this allows us tocreate systems from the animal’s perspective– based on a mix of scientific evidence, bestpractice guidance and what the animalsthemselves tell us.It’s refreshing to see KFC recognise chickensentience along with the established fivefreedoms, which describe an acceptable stateof animal welfare, encompassing not onlygood health and physical condition, but goodmental wellbeing and the ability to expressnatural behaviours.Animal welfare is no longer some abstractconcept. We know what aspects are neededto deliver a better life for chickens, which is whyit is so important that KFC have signed up tothe Better Chicken Commitment. Following thecriteria will provide chickens with more space tolive, an enriched environment, and will ensurethe breeds used will be able to lead active liveswith good welfare outcomes. It will also ensurethat chickens have a more humane endand are protected by third-party auditing.This first report from KFC on its chicken welfareprogress, provides valuable information onkey inputs, such as stocking density, naturallight provision, and type of breed used; healthindicators such as the use of antibiotics andmortality rates; as well as indicators of welfare,such as the condition of feet, hocks and legs.Coupled with an active improvement programme,we expect to see these animal-based outcomemeasures gradually improve as KFC transitiontheir supply to meet the requirements of theBetter Chicken Commitment.To date, over 100 companies in Europe havesigned up to the Better Chicken Commitment.The transition from current production systemsto the new criteria will take time and will requirecollective action from a range of stakeholders.It will also require leadership.This annual progress report from KFC is ashining example of leadership and a proactiveapproach to improving the lives of the millionsof farm animals in its supply. It demonstratesthat chicken welfare is genuinely built into theDNA of the company and is a bold way tocommunicate their agenda. We wholeheartedlyapplaud this transparency.There has never been a more important timeto improve farm animal welfare and a truemarket shift to higher welfare chicken isachievable if the food industry works togethernow to make it a success.5
Chicken is our BusinessThe KFC UK & IrelandWelfare ProgrammeA word fromPaula MackenzieMANAGING DIRECTOR,KFC UK & IREL ANDOur mission is simple. We aim to serve the most delicious chicken,freshly prepared by hand in our restaurants, sourced from birdsthat have had a good life. This is the first edition of our annualprogress report where we document our ongoing journey towardsever-improving chicken welfare.Chicken is what we’re about. We’re the chickenexperts, and frankly no one does fried chickenlike we do. We serve our iconic chicken acrossthe nation — and we care about it from barnto bucket.We know that incredible taste is so closely linkedto quality — and because we believe that greatquality starts with higher animal welfarestandards on farms, we took a big step lastyear and became the first in our sector to signup to the Better Chicken Commitment.We’re proud to be leading the way in our sector,paving the way for our peers to follow suit andsign the BCC. The farms supplying KFC UK& Ireland also supply chicken to other foodbusinesses, so our chance of success onlyincreases as more food businesses makethe same commitments.That said — and despite what many peoplethink — KFC UK & Ireland’s mission to improvewelfare standards is not a new one. We’ve beenon this journey for nearly two decades, whichhas led us to our well established, alreadystringent welfare standards. All of our suppliershave to comply with our policies and SourcingCode of Practice, which are closely aligned withthe welfare criteria set out in the BusinessBenchmark for Animal Welfare (BBFAW).6Candidly speaking, we’ve found that under standing any variations in performance acrossour supply chain is actually far trickier than youmight think – especially given we source ourchicken from over 2,000 farms. So to help usidentify and drive meaningful improvementon the most pressing challenges across theindustry, we’ve also invested in advancedsoftware to monitor, trend and report welfareoutcome measures across our supply chain.And it’s the latest results of that monitoringthat we’re proud to report to you today.Both the good and the bad.The data may not be perfect — we know there’sthings we can do better, and there are a fewareas for growth and improvement. But weremain committed to reporting these resultspublicly and regularly — both via this annualreport and on our website — because we knowit will help provide the data needed to driveimprovements across the supply chain.We have big ambitions, and working incollaboration with peers, competitors, farmersand NGOs, we hope we can drive progress, raisestandards further and bring about change thatour industry and customers can be proud of.KFC's parent company Yum! Brands established its first welfareprogramme in 2002, which has continued to evolve up to thelatest Global Animal Welfare Policy in 2018. KFC Western Europeestablished a complimentary programme in 2004, building on the UKFarm Animal Welfare Council’s 5 Freedoms and European legislation.This programme includes KFC UK & Ireland. The standards — currentlyin their 20th edition — are supported by scientific research, andchanges to the programme are based on the latest available science.KFC UK & Ireland believe chickens are sentient and that they havethe ability to suffer and feel pain. In order to ensure that the welfareof chicken is continuously improving, all suppliers are independentlyaudited to formally assess compliance, share best practice and identifyopportunities for improvement. 100% of KFC UK & Ireland’s poultrysupply is governed by this programme.Number of KFC UK & Ireland suppliers in 2019:34Number of sites audited in 2019:20Number of sites audited since 2004:Approx. 3507

Audit ProcessGovernance &Reporting StructureSuppliers are visited every 15 monthsand all aspects of supply are audited:KFC UK & Ireland has defined strong policiesand included the animal welfare programme aspart of the Sourcing Code of Practice, which isa prerequisite in order to become a supplier. 1 Breeder Rearing site — flock to be over 10 weeks of age 1 Breeder Laying site — flock to be over 45 weeks of age 1 Hatchery — during the period of chick processing 1 Feed Mill 1 Broiler Growing site — in the last week of the growing period 1 Broiler Growing site during catching All supplying Slaughterhouses — during processing(observing from arrival to exiting defeather)If any non-compliances highlighted as “Action Required” are observedsuppliers must provide an action plan within 20 days. If suppliers receivea score of less than 80% they will be subject to a re-audit after 60 daysto verify that corrective actions have been implemented. Non-complianceagainst any of the critical audit points results in automatic failure of theaudit and immediate suspension from the KFC UK & Ireland supply chain.Two suppliers were suspended in 2019 due to non-compliance issues.10The UK & Ireland market takes a leadership position in the developmentand evolvement of standards on behalf of other European markets.The ownership of the Sourcing Code of Practice itself sits with DavidMoran Chief Supply Chain Officer. The Farm Animal Welfare ProgramManager and respective Category Managers report into David Moranon program development and changes as well as compliance& performance to standards.11

All suppliers regularlysubmit monthly outcome measures to the Welfare KPI Data Portal.The data is collected by suppliers on farm and at slaughter to coverall life stages of production.The purpose of this initiative is to identify,report and drive meaningful improvementon the most pressing challenges across theindustry. This system allows KFC UK & Irelandto benchmark suppliers to identify wheregood or better levels of welfare are achieved.Demonstrating that solutions are knownand feasible within the industry helps withacceptance and implementation across thesupply base. KFC UK & Ireland also continuesto make structural changes to their supplychain and the data base enables the monitoringof the impact of these on chicken Welfare.In 2019 KFC UK & Ireland was supplied by 34suppliers. In the first year of running the DataPortal, monthly submissions were receivedfrom 33 of these suppliers, for all or someof the KPIs. The KPI results reported beloware weighted by volume of product suppliedin 2019 and unless otherwise noted, theyrepresent over 80% of supply. As this is thefirst Annual Progress Report on animal welfarethe historical data represented below is froma more varying pool of suppliers, and havemostly been submitted in arrears and weightedbased on 2019 supply volumes. So, whileproviding an indication of certain major trendsit’s not as accurate a reflection of our suppliers’performance as the 2019 data. The historicaltrending will improve in future reports as thequality of the underlying data improves.15
Farm FlockOutcome MeasuresWeighted Total Antibiotic Use (mg/Kg)KFC Database — 52016201720182019Total Antibiotic Use (mg/Kg)Environmental EnrichmentResponsible Antibiotic UseEnvironmental enrichment encourages individual birds todemonstrate natural behaviours. These include bird activities suchas feeding, drinking, preening, dustbathing, walking, exploration,and social interactions. Enrichment positively impacts on behaviour,health, and development of birds.KFC UK & Ireland is committed to ensuring thatsuppliers use medicines responsibly, with alltreatments prescribed and strictly controlled byveterinarians in response to specific diagnosedillness. Only medicines licensed in the EuropeanUnion are permitted to be prescribed. KFC UK& Ireland works with chicken suppliers to meetthe long-term goals of continuous reduction &eventual elimination of antibiotics important tohuman medicine according to WHO classification.All suppliers follow European legislation whichdoes not permit the use of antibiotics as agrowth promoter. The routine use of antibioticsas a preventative measure is strictly forbidden.During every audit all treatments of birdsmust be evidenced by a reason for treatment,veterinary prescriptions and medicine bookentries to ensure that antibiotics are onlyused for specific diagnosed illnesses.early life stage we are seeing this practicereduce. However, use during the first 7 daysmight still occur in response to a specificdiagnosed illness. During audits all use ofantibiotics must be evidenced with a reasonfor treatment, veterinary prescriptions andmedicine book entries to ensure it was notdone as a preventative measure.Through ongoing engagement with suppliers,steady progress has been achieved in reducingthe amount of antibiotic use across the supplybase over the 2015–18 period. The reasonsfor the slight increase this year is currentlybeing investigated.Using antibiotics prophylactically is in breachof KFC UK & Ireland policy and is addressedthrough supplier communication and businessreviews. Supply from suppliers not willing tochange will be discontinued. FAI is runninginvestigations based on the reported dataon HPCIA use and first 7-day-treatmentsto determine appropriate improvementaction plans.Currently KFC UK & Ireland requires that allbirds have access to periods of light and dark,suitable ventilation, a nutritionally balanceddiet and unrestricted clean water. KFC UK &Ireland ensures that all birds raised have aminimum of 6 hours of daily darkness with atleast four hours of continuous darkness andencourages all suppliers to adopt natural lightingand environmental enrichment. All the birdsreared in the UK and Ireland also have provisionof natural light through windows in all farms.In addition, there are plans in place withsuppliers to address the gap in provision ofnatural light and perches, as well as otherenvironmental enrichments, such as straw balesand pecking materials. The Data Portal allowseasy identification of suppliers who are laggingbehind on provision of enrichment. KFC UK &Ireland is also exploring widening the scopeof the KPIs collected to include monitoringof behaviour. This might include gait scoring,farmer observations, or use of novel technology.KFC UK & Ireland is seeking possibilities topartner with NGO s, suppliers and technicalvendors to agree the right measures and findways to implement them across the supply.Also collected and reported is informationon antibiotics used during the first 7-days ofchicks’ lives. Treating chicks during the firstweek of their lives was practiced in somemarkets as a preventative measure to avoiddisease outbreaks and the associated mortality.Through improved husbandry practices at this16Finally, KFC UK & Ireland monitors usageof the highest priority critically importantantimicrobials for human health (HPCIA) asdefined by the WHO. To reduce the risks ofemerging antimicrobial resistance a commitmenthas been made to phase out the use ofHPCIAs. If the use of an antibiotic deemedby WHO as a HPCIA (or EMA category B) isobserved during an audit, this results in afailure. In 2019 no such medicine was foundto be used.17
Breed ChangeCurrently nearly all broilers in the KFC UK& Ireland supply chain are the derived fromfast-growing breeds — including Ross 308,Ross 708, Cobb 500, Hubbard Classic, HubbardF15. These take 30 days to achieve a slaughterweight of 1.8kgs. Five suppliers are reportedlyusing slower growing Hubbard or Ross lines.Compassion in World Farming notes, in itsdocument, Broiler welfare in commercialsystems, that , ‘intense genetic selection forhigh growth rate and breast meat yield withcontinued improvement in feed efficiency hasresulted in a broiler with low activity, and leg,metabolic and physiological disorders such asascites and sudden death syndrome. Highgrowth rate also exacerbates the need for feedrestriction and problems of chronic hunger inbroiler breeders rearers. By contrast, slowergrowing breeds have better gait, fewer injuriesand are less prone to disease, which translatesinto lower use of antibiotics. As a result, slowergrowing breeds are better able to demonstratenatural behaviours’.KFC UK & Ireland recognizes that breedtransition on this scale will take time but arecommitted to reporting the progress that theymake in their supply chain. In 2019, 2.65% ofthe supply consisted of slower growing breeds.MortalityWeighted Mortality (%)KFC Database — 2015–2019This outcome measure records all chickenswhich die or are culled for any reason — includingdisease, injury or lameness. The mortality levelon a farm indicates the robustness of the breedand how well the environment and health of thebirds are managed.4.354.334.304.334.254.204.154.10Despite an increase in mortality from 2015 —2017, perhaps due to removal of the prophylacticuse of antibiotics, suppliers have now adjustedhusbandry practices and are seeing mortalitylevels dropping again. The 2019 average was3.98%, while our top quartile of producersreported mortality levels under 7Stocking Density20182019Mortality (%)KFC UK & Ireland is committed to ensuring thatall its chickens are reared in spacious barnswith well-maintained dry litter, typically woodshavings. Currently maximum stocking densityis stipulated at 38kg/m² and farmers areencouraged to further reduce planned densitiesto 30kg/m². KFC UK & Ireland was fully compliantwith this policy and had an average stockingdensity of 36kg/m² in 2019. Stocking densityover 38kg/m² results in an automatic fail onthe welfare audit and subsequent exclusion fromsupply if not rectified. In 2019 2% of supplyreported stocking densities over 38kg/m². Thishas subsequently been dropped from supply.Higher stocking densities are associated withan immediately diminishing capacity to exhibitthe natural behaviours, which are a cornerstoneof farm animal welfare science. Other negativeimpacts of higher stocking densities caninclude poor litter quality, poor walking ability(gait), and foot pad dermatitis. Higher stockingdensities lead to reduced walking, both lengthand distance travelled (Buijs et al 2010; Febreret al. 2006), increased jostling (Dawkins 2004)and interruptions to resting period (Hall 2001),and a reduction in walking and running,ground pecking and lying and preeningpatterns (Hall, 2001).Leg cullsWeighted Leg Culls (%)KFC Database — 2015–20190.9000.860.6750.810.80.780.69The (%) leg culls has increased very slightlyover the 2015‒2019 period, however, asseen in the graph, above overall mortality hasreduced over the last 2 years. This indicatesthat farmers are managing leg health moreproactively with overall positive outcomes forthe health of the flocks.0.4500.225Weighted Broiler Stocking DensityKFC Database — 20190.00020152016201720182019Leg Culls (%)Breast blister2% 30 Kg/m215%30 - 33 Kg/m2Weighted Breast Blister (%)KFC Database — 2015–20190.250.250.200.150.1038 - 42 Kg/m20.050.060.040.010.00201520160.0320172018A breast blister is a swelling over the keel bone(an extension of the sternum) with bruising anddiscoloration. Breast blisters are more likely inheavier and inactive birds that spend more timesitting and laying down. As an outcome measureit indicates the general activity levels of the birds,as well as the quality of litter, litter management,ventilation and disease management.While still low — 0.25% — the rise in incidentsin 2019 is largely due to better reporting, asdata collection on breast blisters was onlyformally required of suppliers in 2019. However,based on the performance of the top quartileof suppliers in 2019, KFC believes breastblisters can be kept consistently under 0.02%.This is also consistent with the low levelsof breast blister seen across the supply basethrough the audit programme.33 - 38 Kg/m282%This outcome measure provides an indicationof the birds’ leg health and ability to walk.Farmers will gait score and are encouraged tocull birds with the poorest gait. This is importantto prevent suffering and ensure good welfare inthe flock. KFC UK & Ireland has not set a targetfor this metric, as culling should be in responseto need, however, by collecting this data trendscan be observed and potential problemsidentified that require further investigation.2019Breast Blister (%)1819
Foot pad dermatitisFood pad dermatitis is characterised by lesionson the feet of chickens, arising usually as a resultof poor litter and ventilation. This is a painfulcondition for the birds and in severe cases,ulcers can prevent birds from walking normally.Monitoring the prevalence of foot pad dermatitisprovides us with indicators of the quality oflitter, the litter management, ventilation systems,and disease management on farm.There have been steady improvementsachieved by suppliers on reducing footpaddermatitis over the 2015‒18 period, and itremained stable in 2019. The results reportedfrom the top quartile of producers — achievinglevels of 15% or below — shows that more canand needs to be done to reduce foot paddermatitis across the supply chain. Similarlyto several of the other outcomes, KFC UK &Ireland believes that reductions are achievablealongside other longer-term initiatives, likereducing stocking density and changing breed.Hock burnHock burns are marks on the upper leg jointsof broilers, caused by ammonia from the wasteof other birds, which can burn through the skin ofthe leg. These can also be caused by wet litter.It is typically associated with birds that spend moretime sitting. This outcome measure indicatesgeneral activity levels of the birds, as well asthe quality of litter, litter management, ventilation,breed robustness and disease management.While improvements were made from 2015— 2017, levels have increased the last 2 yearsto an average of 12.17% in 2019. This is aconcerning trend and in stark contrast to theperformance of the top quartile of producerswho kept hock burn levels under 1.13% thesame year. Achieving these lower levels acrossthe supply chain requires investigation of themanagement practices of the top quartileproducers, as well as careful monitoring andtargeting of improvement interventions atcertain lower-performing suppliers.20Stunning Before SlaughterWeighted Foot Pad Dermatitis (%)KFC Database — 152016201720182019KFC UK & Ireland insist that all birds are stunnedbefore slaughter and all suppliers were 100%compliant to this policy in 2019. Whatevermethod of stunning is used, the system mustbe humanely carried out, and suppliers mustensure that all slaughter facilities followregulations and best practices around pain andstress during handling, pre-stunning, stunningand slaughtering. Currently, the majority (62%)of the birds supplied are killed using ControlledAtmosphere Stunning (CAS) systems, asrecommended by the European ChickenCommitment. KFC UK & Ireland are committedto transitioning as much of the supply chainas possible to this method and publicly reporttheir progress on an annual basis.Foot Pad Dermatitis (%)Weighted Hock Burn (%)KFC Database — 2015–2019Stunning System UsedKFC Database — 2019141212.17Controlled Atmosphere11.41109.0588.45Electric Waterbath6.96638%4202015201620172018201962%Hock Burn (%)21

Backyard Chicken Coop I made this little chicken barn a few years ago to house 3-5 laying hens in my back yard. I'm in town and had to design a "pretty" one to keep people from having a chicken coup (ha ha). This one was inspired by some Kansas barns I've seen. I spent about 40 when fully completed.
