The Pew Environmental Group, part of the Pew Charitable Trust, recently fired a broadside at the broiler industry's production and environmental practices in their report on "Big Chicken: Pollution and Industrial Poultry Productions in America". We caught up with the National Chicken Council's Richard Lobb for a response on that release as well as a look behind the curtain at how such politically motivated releases are dealt with.
The Pew Commission on Industrial Farm Animal Production Report is often referenced as a primer on the direction U.S. agriculture needs to move. However, a recent review of the report by the American Veterinary Medical Association and the Federation of Animal Science Societies identified some weaknesses in the methodology used. Joining us today, and representing the Federation of Animal Science Societies, are Science Policy Director Lowell Randel and Chair of the Animal Care Committee Janice Swanson.
