Ghana urged to adopt free-range poultry farming

Animal Welfare League urges Ghana government to adopt free-range poultry farming over battery cages

The Animal Welfare League has called on the government to promote free-range poultry farming instead of battery-cage systems, arguing that Ghana's traditional nkokɔ nkitinkiti method offers a more humane and sustainable approach to raising chickens. The appeal was made during the Hospitality with Heart Awards held in Accra, where hotels were recognised for sourcing eggs from farms that adhere to higher animal welfare standards.
