is first and foremost good for the animal-welfare, and
for our valued clients,” explains Kenneth H. Tan,
founder and chief executive of IZZYCUE.
Cage-free Eggs:
The vast majority of all commercial egg-laying hens are
confined in cages. Keeping hens in cages greatly reduces
the potential risk of spreading diseases through their
fecal contact.
Overall, it also reduces that amount of dust pollutants
and ammonia in the hen house and cuts down the amount
of physical labor necessary to manage chickens and collect
their eggs.
However, this system is oftentimes perceived as being
inhumane; therefore, there is a niche market for eggs
produced by chickens raised in a cage-free or free-roaming
configurations. Birds raised in a cage-free or free-roaming
system are maintained inside on the floor of the hen house.
Moreover if the label says "free-range", you
can then expect that the chickens were allowed to graze
or roam outdoors.
