- When the breeder is committed to continuous, self-motivated improvement

Keep in mind
- Animal welfare is assessed during official farm inspections
- Assessment is also essential for the obtention of labels with animal welfare requirements.
- Some cooperatives or breeders wish to voluntarily assess the welfare of their animals in order to improve it.
