Certification for the production of animals free of antibiotics.

The livestock sector is facing a series of challenges over the next few years caused by new consumer habits and increasing consumer awareness and sensitivity regarding how animals bred for food production are raised.

Animal welfare aspects, their origin or the use of antibiotics are becoming increasingly important, and are contributing to improved competitiveness in the sector, along with added value for increasingly demanding consumers.

Antibiotic Free Animal Production Certification. The audit procedure aims to determine the conformity of the entire antibiotic-free animal production process. In this respect, AENOR certification provides added value to improved consumer trust and to control strategies regarding bacterial resistance to antibiotics.
