Meat Processing Livestock Services Trades & Apprenticeships Corporate Careers at AFFCO Our Locations Find a Buyer Contact Us MENU Farmer Login OUR PRODUCT BENEFITS Health and welfare are important to us and therefore 100 percent of AFFCO’s livestock are raised on clean, open pastures. New Zealand’s temperate climate provides optimal health conditions to support free range animals. Our livestock are raised in green pastures eating what is most natural to them – grass. Natural grass, hay or silage is the feed of choice for our cattle and sheep. AFFCO livestock are not grain-fed, making them some of the leanest, healthiest beef on the planet. Our cattle are raised without being fed or dosed with artificial hormones that promote unnatural growth within the animal. This hormone growth promotant free stance gives our farmers, staff and our customers around the world reassurance that they and their children are not eating hormonally manipulated product. Our livestock undergo a minimum stand-down period of 60 days from any antibiotic treatment. Antibiotics are only used in selective cases where the health and well being of the animal necessitates it, and the stand-down period ensures there are no residual traces remaining in the meat. AFFCO beef and lamb meets the strictest Halal standards. We’ve been exporting to halal customers for decades.
