Animal welfare in aquatic production has been gaining increasing attention in discussions about the future of aquaculture. In this context, understanding how certification programs incorporate welfare criteria into their standards is essential for producers, companies, retailers, researchers, and other stakeholders across the production chain.

This is precisely the purpose of the Aquaculture Certification Schemes Benchmark, developed by the Aquatic Life Institute (ALI).

In its fifth edition, published in September 2026, the Benchmark evaluated 12 certification programs and 2 rating agencies, representing the largest scope reached by the study to date.

For the second consecutive year, Certified Humane ranked first, achieving a score of 9.5/10.

What is the Aquaculture Certification Schemes Benchmark?

The Aquaculture Certification Schemes Benchmark is a global, evidence-based tool that evaluates how aquaculture certification programs and product rating systems incorporate animal welfare requirements into their standards.

In other words, the study seeks to answer an important question:

To what extent do aquaculture certification programs establish clear criteria to protect the welfare of farmed aquatic animals?

The Benchmark compares the requirements established in different programs’ standards and assigns scores based on the presence and strength of criteria related to animal welfare.

According to ALI, it is the only global evidence-based tool specifically dedicated to assessing the strength and clarity of animal welfare language within aquaculture certification and rating frameworks.

The results can be used as a reference by certification programs, seafood companies, retailers, policymakers, researchers, investors, and animal protection organizations.

What does the Benchmark evaluate?

The assessment considers different aspects related to the living conditions and management of aquatic animals.

Among the main criteria evaluated are:

Water quality

Water quality is fundamental to the welfare of aquatic animals. Therefore, the Benchmark evaluates whether standards establish requirements related to monitoring and maintaining adequate water quality conditions.

Stocking density

The study also analyzes requirements related to the number of animals kept within a given space.

Stocking density can directly influence animals’ living conditions and is associated with factors such as behavior, water quality, and opportunities for interaction with the environment.

Environmental enrichment

Another aspect evaluated is whether standards include requirements that encourage environments more suited to animals’ behavioral needs.

This is one of the areas where the sector still has opportunities for improvement. The 2026 assessment indicates that aspects related to behavior and the ability to express natural behaviors remain less developed compared to operational welfare criteria.

Feed

The Benchmark also evaluates how standards address feed composition and feeding management practices.

Transport and handling

Transport and handling are important stages for animal welfare and are also included in the assessment.

In the 2026 edition, the transport criterion was expanded to also include routine handling practices.

Stunning and slaughter

Requirements related to stunning and slaughter are also considered in the evaluation, assessing whether standards establish procedures aimed at reducing animal suffering.

In addition to these criteria, what else is considered?

The Benchmark also assigns scores to certain prohibitions considered relevant for animal welfare.

These include:

• farming octopuses and other cephalopods;
• eyestalk ablation in shrimp;
• the use of insects as feed for aquatic animals;
• the use of genetically modified organisms to accelerate growth;
• inappropriate use of antimicrobials.

In the 2026 edition, inappropriate antimicrobial use became one of the core prohibitions assessed.

The report also highlights that six evaluated programs now prohibit the farming of octopuses or other cephalopods: Certified Humane, RSPCA, ASC, Soil Association Organic, Friend of the Sea, and Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP).

What does the Benchmark NOT evaluate?

This point is important.

The Aquaculture Certification Schemes Benchmark is an assessment exclusively focused on animal welfare.

Therefore, the score does not represent an overall evaluation of certification programs.

The study does not assess:

• environmental sustainability;
• food safety;
• social responsibility;
• governance performance;
• implementation of standards on farms;
• compliance of certified operations with the standards.

In other words, a high Benchmark score means that a program has clearer and stronger requirements related to animal welfare, but it does not necessarily indicate the best performance across all other dimensions of aquaculture production.

Certified Humane ranks first again

In the 2026 edition, Certified Humane achieved 9.5 points, maintaining the leading position for the second consecutive year.

The result also represents an improvement compared to the previous edition. In 2025, Certified Humane received 8.75 points and also ranked first.

The three highest scores in 2026 were:

1st Certified Humane: 9.5
2nd RSPCA: 8.45
3rd ASC: 7.95

The improvement in Certified Humane’s score followed the incorporation of new animal welfare provisions into its standards, including updates made based on recommendations presented by ALI in the 2025 Benchmark.

Why is this assessment important for aquaculture?

Aquaculture plays an increasingly important role in global food production, with billions of aquatic animals raised in farming systems worldwide.

At the same time, scientific knowledge about the welfare of these animals continues to advance.

In this context, establishing clear welfare criteria within certification standards can help translate scientific knowledge into practical requirements for production systems.

The ALI Benchmark provides an overview of which aspects are already more established within certification standards and which areas still require further development.

According to the 2026 assessment, requirements related to feed, water quality, stocking density, transport and handling, and stunning and slaughter are increasingly present in the evaluated standards. On the other hand, aspects related to behavioral welfare, environmental complexity, and opportunities for expressing natural behaviors remain areas requiring further development.

Recognition for advancing animal welfare

Certified Humane’s first-place ranking in the 2026 Benchmark represents recognition of the presence of animal welfare requirements within its aquaculture certification standards.

The result highlights the importance of establishing objective, evidence-based, and continuously improved criteria to guide the responsible farming of aquatic animals.

For Certified Humane, this recognition reflects a commitment at the core of its work: supporting farming conditions that consider animals’ needs and contributing to concrete advances in animal welfare.

Providing appropriate conditions for farm animals is an important part of responsible animal production. Nutrition, water, housing, the environment and handling all play a role in how animals are cared for throughout their lives.

As this subject gains greater visibility, animal welfare is becoming part of the discussion about how food is produced and what consumers expect from the industry.

The consumer is paying attention

Food companies can invest in new products and marketing campaigns, but these efforts also need to consider changes in consumer expectations.

Consumers are increasingly concerned about their health and about the origin of the food they buy. They want to know where the product on their table comes from and under what conditions the animals

 were raised before becoming part of the food supply.

This has made animal care an important consideration for the agricultural industry.

Consumers are also willing to pay more for products made with animal welfare in mind. A product carrying an animal welfare certification can be perceived as being of higher quality than one that provides no information about how the animals were raised.

For the industry, this means that good animal care practices are becoming increasingly important to the way products are produced and presented to consumers.

How did animal welfare become part of animal production?

The discussion about animal welfare began in the 1960s. In 1979, the publication of the Five Freedoms by the Farm Animal Welfare Council gave greater importance to animal welfare in discussions about farm animal production.

From that point forward, issues related to animal care became part of the conversation surrounding agricultural production.

Infrastructure, food, water, transportation and animal nutrition are among the aspects that need to be considered when looking at the conditions in which farm animals are raised.

Why do nutrition and environmental conditions matter?

Environmental management and animal nutrition are important elements of animal welfare.

hese practices also play an important role in preventing problems that can cause significant losses to the agricultural industry, such as salmonella outbreaks. The occurrence of the bacteria is associated with factors including inadequate hygiene and cleaning in environments where poultry and pigs are raised, poor management of waste and other residues, contaminated water, and a lack of control over birds, flies and rodents.

Nutrition is another factor that deserves particular attention.

Proper care of the environment and the food provided to animals is therefore an important part of managing production and protecting animal health.

Why does animal welfare certification matter?

Consumers who want to know whether a product has been produced with animal welfare in mind need reliable information. Certification provides a way to identify products that follow defined animal welfare standards.

The Certified Humane® program works to improve the lives of farm animals from birth through slaughter. Since 2003, Certified Humane® has followed the Humane Farm Animal Care (HFAC) Standards Manual.

The program’s standards establish specific animal welfare requirements and consider the characteristics of each species.

They are reviewed by a Scientific Committee made up of approximately 40 professionals from around the world. The committee studies the specific characteristics of each species to establish appropriate requirements for their care.

For consumers, the certification provides information about the standards followed in the production of a product. For producers and food companies, it offers a way to demonstrate their commitment to animal care through defined requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions About Animal Welfare

What are the Five Freedoms?

The first step is understanding that farm animals must be raised without physical suffering, unnecessary stress or environmental discomfort throughout all stages of their lives. This means recognizing that they are sentient beings, capable of feeling pain, fear, discomfort and positive states. In fact, the meaning of animal welfare goes beyond simply providing food and water. It is necessary to understand the specific needs of each species and adapt farms and production systems to meet those needs.

For animals to live well, it is necessary to provide them with:

• A balanced diet with the necessary nutrients for healthy development;
• Ingredients and practices that do not compromise their integrity;
• No use of antibiotics as growth promoters, except when needed for disease treatment under veterinary guidance;
• A suitable place to rest and move safely;
• Adequate access to feed and clean water;
• The opportunity to interact with other animals of the same species;
• A rearing system in which they can express natural behaviors.

Animal welfare seal

Certification is one of the clearest ways for consumers to know that the food they buy comes from animals raised according to recognized welfare standards. The Certified Humane® seal can be found on the packaging of products such as meat – including pork, beef and poultry – eggs and milk, as well as processed products that include certified animal-derived ingredients, such as pasta made with eggs or foods prepared with milk and dairy ingredients.

The work of Certified Humane® is to verify that companies and producers understand animal welfare and comply with the standards of Humane Farm Animal Care. One of its objectives is to help provide better living conditions for farm animals and make consumers aware that they can choose products from brands committed to responsible animal care throughout the production cycle.

Why get certified?

Consumers are increasingly attentive to products that come from production systems where animals are mistreated or kept in inadequate conditions. Certification shows that a product follows recognized standards for the care of farm animals. It can also open the door to a growing market and support greater credibility, efficiency and transparency in production. Producers of meat, including pork, beef, lamb and poultry, as well as eggs, milk and dairy products, can seek certification. Food companies that use certified animal-derived ingredients as raw materials can also apply.

By obtaining certification, companies strengthen their reputation and connect with consumers, retailers, restaurants, hotels and food service companies that value responsible sourcing. Below is the step-by-step process for obtaining animal welfare certification:

• Learn about the standards that must be met;
• Read the HFAC – Humane Farm Animal Care – Standards Manual, which explains the certification process;
• Request the required forms from Certified Humane®;
• After document verification, an inspector visits the production unit to validate the information and confirm that the requirements are being implemented;
• Once all requirements are met, certification is granted;
• The Certified Humane® seal can be used on approved product packaging to show consumers that the producer or manufacturer follows animal welfare standards;
• Each year, the producer receives a new inspection to ensure continued compliance with the requirements.

Consumers must choose certified products

Today, consumers have more information and are increasingly aware of how their choices influence the market. This is why many food companies, retailers, restaurants and hospitality groups have been reviewing their supply chains and seeking products from farms that follow animal welfare standards. The consumer’s role is essential for this change. By rejecting products linked to poor animal treatment and choosing certified options, consumers help encourage better practices throughout the food production chain.

How can you help as a consumer? First, look for and buy products that carry the Certified Humane® seal for animal welfare. Second, if your usual store, restaurant or market does not offer certified products, ask for them. You can also encourage family and friends to choose products that come from farms committed to better animal care.

Animals should not have to suffer. Good practices benefit everyone: consumers, producers, companies and retailers. Objectively speaking, animal welfare means providing animals with the conditions they need to live according to the natural behaviors of their species, with proper nutrition, health, comfort and care.

Based on scientific research, professional recommendations, and recognized best animal-management practices, the animal welfare standard for broiler production developed by Humane Farm Animal Care (HFAC) presents the approved Certified Humane® requirements for the rearing, handling, transport, and slaughter of broiler chickens. A full chapter (Part 3 – Environment) of the standard is dedicated to facilities.

Would you like to learn more about how to design housing that promotes broiler welfare, including flooring type, bedding, electrical systems, and optimal lighting design? Read on.

Facility records that support welfare

The Certified Humane® program requires a record for each flock that includes a checklist of critical control points related to bird welfare. This record must be continuously updated and readily available whenever an HFAC inspector requests it.

The checklist of critical points must include:

• Total area available to the birds;
• Total number of birds;
• Total number of drinkers and feeders or total linear feeder space;
• Feeding program;
• Target air-quality and temperature parameters by age;
• Lighting schedule and levels;
• Emergency procedures (for example, actions in case of fire, flooding, automatic equipment failure, or when ammonia or temperature exceed acceptable limits).

Electrical Installations

When designing electrical systems, it is essential to ensure that:

• Birds cannot access them;
• They are properly insulated;
• They are protected from rodents;
• They are correctly grounded;
• They are periodically checked for electrical leakage.

Floor Design

Broiler housing must have flooring that can be effectively cleaned and disinfected to prevent the buildup of parasites and disease-causing agents.

Concrete floors are recommended instead of dirt floors because they allow more effective cleaning and disinfection.

Concrete Floors

Concrete floors in broiler houses must be solid, smooth, and durable. They should not have large holes or cracks, and any damage must be properly repaired.

Bedding

All broiler housing must have the entire floor covered with suitable bedding that provides comfort. Birds must have continuous access to this bedding.

Appropriate broiler litter must:

• Consist of material with suitable particle size;
• Be high quality (clean, dry, low dust, and absorbent);
• Be turned to remain loose and dry;
• Have sufficient depth to dilute droppings;
• Prevent excessive fecal contamination of birds’ feet;
• Allow birds to perform dust-bathing behavior;
• Be periodically redistributed and topped up with fresh material when needed.

Lighting Program Design

Certified Humane® standards require that the lighting program in broiler facilities be designed to reduce leg problems and ensure adequate rest. Birds must receive at least six continuous hours of darkness each day.

Light Intensity

Throughout the day, lighting levels must allow birds to see caretakers and enable easy inspection. The lighting system must provide an average of at least 20 lux across the entire housing area.

Intensive production systems often ignore the basic needs of these animals, leading to overcrowded spaces, poor thermal comfort, inadequate lighting, and unbalanced diets. That’s where the Certified Humane label becomes essential. It establishes strict handling standards that prioritize the health, natural behaviors, and dignity of broilers throughout their entire lifecycle.

To clarify key doubts and demonstrate how certification promotes a more ethical and responsible production model, we’ve answered the most frequently asked questions about broiler chicken welfare. This content is valuable for both producers and conscious consumers.

How is broiler chicken welfare ensured?

Animal welfare is guaranteed when chickens are raised in environments that meet their physical, behavioral, and physiological needs. This includes balanced nutrition, continuous access to clean water, sufficient space for movement, temperature control, effective ventilation and proper lighting.

What are Certified Humane standards for broilers?

The Certified Humane® program is based on eight core pillars:

• Nutritious feed without growth-promoting antibiotics;

• Ample clean drinking water;

• Comfortable housing with space to move;

• Dry, safe bedding;

• Lighting with defined light and dark periods;

• Thermal comfort;

• Air quality control;

• Proper pasture management when outdoor access is provided.

What is humane broiler farming?

It’s a farming model that respects chickens’ natural behaviors and basic needs. This means ensuring conditions that minimize stress, avoid physical suffering and promote health and quality of life from birth to slaughter.

What are the requirements for certified poultry houses?

Poultry houses must allow free movement, protection from weather and toxins, environmental enrichment – such as perches, controlled lighting and a maximum stocking density of 30 kg/m². Electrical installations must also meet safety standards.

What should broiler chickens be fed?

Feed must be nutritionally appropriate and provided in sufficient quantity to avoid undernourishment or obesity. Growth-promoting antibiotics and animal protein (except eggs) are prohibited. Feeders must be clean, available in sufficient numbers and placed no more than 4 meters from the birds.

Can broilers eat feed with antibiotics?

No. Certified Humane standards prohibit the use of antibiotics for growth promotion. The focus is on keeping birds healthy through good management practices, not additives that may harm welfare.

What is the ideal stocking density for broiler houses?

The maximum allowed is 30 kg of birds per square meter. This ensures all birds can move freely, stretch their wings and access food and water without excessive competition.

Why should overcrowding be avoided?

Overcrowding increases stress, promotes the spread of disease and can cause physical injuries like footpad burns. It also makes it harder for birds to access food and water evenly, compromising overall welfare.

What should broiler floors and bedding be like?

Floors should preferably be concrete, with bedding that is dry, clean, absorbent, and dust-free at all times. Wire flooring and cages are prohibited. Bedding may include straw or grains to encourage natural scratching behavior.

What is the best type of drinker for broilers?

Drinkers may be bell-type (1 per 100 birds), nipple (1 per 20), or cup (1 per 28). Height must match the birds’ age, and equipment must avoid leaks that could wet the bedding.

Do broilers need outdoor access?

Not necessarily. However, if pasture access is provided, it must be well managed, with appropriate vegetation, shade, good drainage, and at least 1 hectare per 1,000 birds. Daily access for a minimum of 8 hours is required.

What is free-range broiler farming?

It refers to systems that provide outdoor access in protected natural areas. Birds can explore the outdoors from the fourth week of life. This system enables natural behaviors and can improve welfare, if properly managed.

How should temperature be managed for broilers?

Broilers must maintain a body temperature around 41°C. Variations above 4°C can be fatal. Poultry houses need efficient ventilation and, for those built after 2006, evaporative cooling systems are recommended.

What are the lighting requirements for broilers?

Chickens must receive at least 8 hours of light and 6 hours of darkness every 24 hours. This helps regulate biological rhythms, improves rest, and reduces stress.

How can stress be reduced in broiler production?

Through proper housing, controlled stocking density, environmental enrichment, defined light/dark cycles, balanced diet, and gentle handling. Stress weakens the immune system and impairs bird development.

Can flooring cause leg pain in broilers?

Yes. Wet, dirty, or inappropriate flooring can cause foot and hock injuries known as contact burns. These lesions are painful, increase the risk of infection, and impair movement.

What is environmental enrichment in poultry houses?

It involves adding elements that stimulate natural behaviors, such as perches, pecking objects, and foraging substrates. Enrichment reduces boredom and stress, improving psychological well-being.

How to improve ventilation in poultry houses?

Using mechanical or natural systems that ensure constant air renewal, temperature control, and contaminant reduction. In newer houses, evaporative cooling systems are recommended.

How to ensure good air quality for broilers?

Maintain low concentrations of ammonia, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and dust. Adequate ventilation and regular cleaning are essential to prevent respiratory diseases.

What practices are prohibited in Certified Humane broiler farming?

The use of cages, growth-promoting antibiotics, animal protein in feed (except eggs), wire flooring, continuous lighting without darkness, and overcrowding. These go against the welfare principles of the Certified Humane program.

How to obtain the Certified Humane seal for broiler production?

Producers must fully comply with program standards, undergo audits, and maintain up-to-date records. The full standard is available on the Certified Humane Asia website for interested producers.

March 2025

In global markets, animal welfare is no longer just an ethical concern — it has become a key factor for product differentiation, market access, and added value.

In Uruguay, a national audit led by INIA (Instituto Nacional de Investigación Agropecuaria) and INAC (Instituto Nacional de Carnes) estimated over USD 31 million in annual losses due to bruises, abscesses, and high pH levels in carcasses. Most striking: 97.8% of these losses are avoidable through better handling from farm to slaughter. This is not just a local issue — it’s a signal for the entire region.

From Uruguay and Paraguay to Argentina and Brazil, we share extensive production systems, natural pastures, and well-adapted breeds. However, the full potential of this production base is not yet reflected in our ability to capture greater value in the markets we already serve.

What do these markets demand today?

• Animal welfare, environmental, and feeding system standards
• Traceability and product integrity from origin
• Good practices to reduce stress and improve meat quality
• Clear communication of product attributes to the consumer

For instance, in the U.S., 65% of “Claim Seekers” only buy meat from humanely raised animals and are willing to pay more for labels like grass-fed, antibiotic-free, or Certified Humane®.

Overall, 31% of U.S. consumers consider animal welfare when purchasing meat, and 63% want to know more about the origin and production conditions of their food. This is not just a trend — it’s a structural shift in how meat is valued.

This transformation is also taking place at the farm level. More and more producers are adopting technology and process-based management, not only to improve quality and animal welfare, but also to optimize efficiency and increase productivity — key drivers of business profitability.
At the same time, increasing the value of the final product — when the entire chain improves its performance — becomes a powerful indirect way to enhance producer profitability through the positive spillover of a better coordinated and differentiated value chain.

A holistic view of the sector is gaining relevance, where success doesn’t depend on a single link, but on the coordinated performance of the entire meat value chain. Final product quality starts at the Farm level, and tools like traceability — beyond sanitary control — are now seen as shared opportunities for differentiation and value creation.

The region has a strategic opportunity: to reposition meat not just as a nutritious and natural food, but as produced under responsible, traceable standards that align with what global consumers are increasingly demanding.

This is not simply a cost — it’s an investment in the future of our products, brands, and reputation as a region that produces high-value food. It aligns with the principles of the Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef, which promotes sustainable beef production from environmental, social, and economic perspectives.

In this context, it is essential to continue fostering dialogue among those working across the sector. Shared learning and real-world experiences are key to advancing toward a more competitive and sustainable meat industry.

In Asia, where animal production is a vital industry, following these procedures is crucial to ensure the sector’s safety and sustainability.

Moreover, biosafety is one of the necessary requirements for a company or property to receive the Certified Humane animal welfare certification, which goes beyond the aspects of humane species management. For more information on certification, visit Certified Humane Asia.

The Certified Humane standards establish specific rules for the rearing of different animal species, such as laying hens, broilers, swine, dairy and beef cattle, among others.

These guidelines are adapted to ensure that biosafety standards are maintained throughout production in Asia, where diverse climatic and environmental conditions require specific practices for each region.

Preventive biosafety actions require Asian producers to meet stringent requirements to eliminate the risks of animal contamination, preserve health, and ensure safety at every stage of production.

These practices should be combined with controlling the flow of animals between various life stages, training handlers, and implementing a quality management system.

Key practices include:

• Isolating the farm at a safe distance from potential vector sources;
• Fencing the property;
• Washing and sanitizing facilities and vehicles;
• Restricting visits;
• Implementing a sanitary void between each batch;
• Adapting the vaccination program to local conditions;
• Sanitary management measures;
• Isolating and treating sick animals;
• Using potable and treated water for animal feeding and hygiene;
• Strict quality control of feed ingredients;
• Proper treatment of waste and effluents;
• Appropriate disposal of facility waste and deceased animals.

When preventive biosafety measures are adopted in Asia, they can prevent or control outbreaks and epidemics, such as Avian Influenza (H5N1), Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy, SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome), and COVID-19.

With the growing concern about disease transmission, farm activities must continue in a way that maintains necessary precautions and meets all the animals’ needs.

All biosafety criteria must be rigorously followed, along with meeting animal welfare requirements. Companies that implement these practices in Asia not only protect the health of their animals and workers but also ensure consumer safety and the quality of the products sold.

The importance of vaccines

Just like humans, animals also need vaccinations to become immune to specific diseases in the region.

This is one of the main sanitary management procedures that lead to biosafety in animal production.

Vaccines protect animals against diseases naturally occurring in the region where the herd is located, considering factors such as age, sex, species, and type of management.

Beef cattle

Vaccines for beef cattle are essential to prevent diseases caused by viruses, bacteria, and protozoa, such as foot-and-mouth disease and brucellosis.

Failures in vaccination can result in significant economic losses and a negative impact on animal health.

Poultry

Poultry also follows a rigorous vaccination program, adapted to each local epidemiological situation in Asia.

Diseases such as Newcastle disease and infectious bronchitis are prevented through specific vaccination methods, such as oral or spray methods, which are widely applied in the region.

Swine and sheep

For swine and sheep, robust biosafety programs, including vaccination against diseases like classical swine fever and parvovirus, are vital to prevent outbreaks that could devastate production. Proper planning and correct application of these vaccines are essential to ensure herd health and food safety.

Biosafety in animal production is crucial to meet the requirements of Certified Humane certification, ensuring that the practices adopted are aligned with the highest international standards of animal welfare.
