Animal Care
Pioneers in Pork
Quality Starts With Care
Commitment to Animal Care means one thing with Hatfield. The animals come first. Every day.
Animal care is our passion and an investment — for us and for you. We’re committed to pursuing animal care in the most economical way possible, and we have the ability to confidently do this at scale. That means you can feel good about choosing Hatfield for your family.
As an 130 year old brand that spans six-generations of the family-owned business, we think a bit differently than everyone else. Our goal has always been to build a better pork industry. It starts with compassion for our animals, our customers and our employees. That’s why we always strive to lead in animal care. Not because we have to. Because we choose to.
Leading With Compassion
With Hatfield, compassion isn’t just a value; it’s the foundation of how we care for every pig.
From the farms to our facilities, we’re committed to ensuring their well-being through responsible practices. Because when animals are treated with respect, it leads to better lives for them and for the community, who enjoy the food we create.
Raised Without Growth Promotants
Although approved for use in the United States, we do not use ractopamine to help increase muscle mass or weight gain for any of our pigs.
Responsible Antibiotic Use
We only administer antibiotics when necessary, in accordance with the labeled usage and under the direction of a veterinarian.
Nutritious Grain-Forward Diet
Our pigs’ diets are formulated and administered based upon consultation with an accredited nutritionist or swine nutrition professional.
