MORRISONS GOES 100% BRITISH FREE-RANGE ON OWN-LABEL EGGS

Morrisons has announced that it has become the first top four retailer in the UK to switch to 100% British free-range on its own-label eggs.

This week’s introduction of 100% British free-range comes nine months earlier than Morrisons had previously forecast and will see millions of laying hens become free-range two years before the EU-wide ban on battery cages comes into force.

The retailer, which currently sells more than 10 million own-label eggs every week, will offer four own-label ranges, all 100% British and free-range, providing even more customers with an ethical choice when purchasing eggs. (Morrisons lowest-priced free-range eggs will be £1.37 for six medium-sized).

Jamie Winter, Trading Manager from Morrisons said; “We have been working towards this goal for some time. As Britain’s fourth largest grocer, we have a responsibility to our customers, suppliers and their animals. We are unique in sourcing our food directly from the producers so we are able to introduce and maintain good farm animal welfare into our sourcing policies. We have a dedicated Farm Working Group which liaises with a network of farmer groups to shape our policies and set targets on farm animal welfare.”

Rowen West-Henzell of Compassion in World Farming comments; “Morrisons has achieved great strides over the last 12 months. Its move to 100% British free-range on own-label shell eggs demonstrates its commitment to improving animal welfare.”

Rezeki 2010....

salam semua...

sudah lama aku tak update blog ni.. sibuk sgt, selain aku baru je balik bercuti kat kg 7-15hb june lepas. masa kat kg on 8hb tu en nizam, peg JPV negeri ada call kami, die suruh kami dtg ke pej JPV pada pagi 10 jun, ada berita gembira katanya.. so kami pun apalagi 10 jun tepat pkl 8.30am dh tercegat kat depan opis JPV nusajaya, bandar iskandariah..

kami pergi bertiga, aku, abg aku kadir belanda dan en kamallullah (pengusaha angsa/ayam kg). En kamallullah ni otai giler, semua peg/pengurus JPV dia kenal. so kami pun request la nk jumpe dgn en nizam (unit aneka haiwan), tp die xde kat opis, pegi minum kot.. so, en kamal ni pun call la haji mansor (ketua unit unggas), bila nmpk kami je hj mansor terus ajak minum kat bawah dulu.. rupenya hj mansor ni dgn en kamal ni kenalan lama.. sepanjang minum tu byk jgk yg kami borak yg semua topic tu berdasarkan unggas2 dan bagaimana kami bole menaikkan industri ini. kami jg berjumpa dgn haji mahat (ketua unit promosi/pembangunan usahawan) dan berborak juga.. best giler dpt jumpe "big guns" kat JPV nusajaya ni dan bertukar2 no HP personal, hehe.. cayalah!!

lepas minum pagi dgn "otai2 JPV" kami pun jumpe en nizam. kami masuk bilik meeting dan die kata yg JPV nusajaya melalui unit aneka haiwan nk bantu kami mengembangkan lagi projek kami. (BD Farm dgn ayam belanda, en kamal dgn angsa). JPV akan bagi inkubator auto percuma, dan sedikit bantuan kewangan utk upgrade reban, ALHAMDULLILLAH... so blk dr meeting tu muka memasing senyum jer... hehe..

aku dgn abg aku plan nk gunakan duit tu semaksimum mungkin. kami bercadang nk buat pagar (0.8 ekar/34k square feet), dan membeli mesin2 seperti generator set (back up utk inkubator) dan mesin cabut bulu ayam. insyaAllah by next month kami dpt peruntukkan tu, aminnn...

p/s: yg paling best 10 jun tu b'day aku, so jadi mcm hadiah b'day la for me.. tq jgk pada dr zul (bos unit aneka haiwan), haji mansor, haji mahat for your support. insyaAllah nanti kami akan minta bantuan lagi.. kekeke.. juga TQ pada en borhan (vet pontian) sebab byk tolong kami n bagi nasihat, insyaAllah apa yg kita plan tu akan berjaya, aminnnn...

Ayam Kesayangan Pengurus Besar

Salam semua… post kalini aku nk cerita mengenai ayam kesayangan manager besar BD Farm (mak aku), hehe.. seperti yg korang mungkin dh tau dari post2 aku yg lepas, manager BD Farm sememangnya anti kepada guinea fowl (ayam mutiara /api2). Sbb die benci ada banyak, antaranya kerana sangat liar dan susah nk dijinakkan selain dari pitching suaranya yg mampu memeningkan kepala sesiapa saja..

So if ada yang dibenci, tentulah ada yg disayang, hehe.. Ayam yg paling beliau sayang ialah ayam serama jantan kami yg beliau beri nama Tek Ke Tek (pronounce as Tack Kay Tack). Ayam jantan ni berusia dekat 2 tahun dan merupakan alpha male serama kat reban kami. Tek ke tek ni mmg sgt jinak dan manja, tak byk bunyi Cuma berkokok pada waktu subuh betul2 kat depan pintu masuk utama rumah aku, hehe.. So walaupun kokokannya tak kuat mana (maklum la ayam serama) tp sentiasa didengar oleh isi rumah sbb betul2 kat tepi pintu umah..

Daripada sifat2 tek ke tek tu sendiri kita dpt bandingkan dgn guinea fowl / ayam mutiara. Tek ke tek mmg mempunyai sifat yg berbeza malahan bertentangan dgn guinea fowl / ayam mutiara kami, so tak hairan la kenapa dia menjadi ayam favorite Manager Besar kami, hehehe..

Dulu ayam serama cuma ada 3 ekor jer termasuk tek ke tek tp setelah lebih setahun mereka mula mengawan, skrg bilangan ayam serama adalah x kurang dari 25 ekor, semuanya bukan lah baka yg mahal2 tu, bukan show breed punye baka, tapi hanya baka yg biasa saja w’pun ramai jgk yg prnh dtg reban kami mengatakan yg baka ayam serama kami “boleh tahan”, hehehe..

Ok lah, kat bawah ni ada beberapa pics tek ke tek utk tatapan semua, enjoy…

p/s: w’pun kecik, tp tek ke tek ni garang, siapa kacau bini2 die tentu die belasah w’pun ayam tu 5-6 kali ganda besar dari die..
