“Calls and actions to reduce the use of all classes of medically important antibiotics in food-producing animals are growing worldwide. Pivka is the first meat producer in Slovenia practising 100% antibiotic-free, mindful farming.”
This is our contribution to maintaining the health of the natural ecosystem and society.
Pivka is the first meat producer in Slovenia with the ANTIBIOTIC FREE STP 080 Antibiotic Free Animal Production international certificate for meat and products. Pivka was awarded the certificate by the external specialised organisation DNV, following a detailed review of its entire production process from the hatchery to all breeders and final production.
The certificate certifies that Pivka chickens have not been given any type of antibiotic during the entire period of breeding. Read more about the Mindful farming commitment in Dobra izbira magazine. Without a doubt.
The commitment to 100% antibiotic-free mindful farming is of great importance to us. It gives us the opportunity to show publicly, with evidence and transparency, what we have always known – that Pivka has been committed to quality since the very start. This is the result of our decision to go above and beyond what is asked of us.
100% ANTIBIOTIC-FREE, MINDFUL FARMING
At Pivka, we have always devoted attention to ensuring the health of our animals. Over the decades, we have brought our farming technology to a level where antibiotic treatment of Pivka chickens is practically unnecessary.
“100% antibiotic-free farming is the result of many years of close partnership between various experts – Pivka’s technologists, Pivka’s breeders, the local agricultural cooperative and the veterinary service, based on trust, honesty and a common goal – to provide animals a healthy environment and optimal conditions for growth and development.
Janez Rebec, MSc., President of the Management Board
Chicken meat is a component of our weekly menus. Quality plays an important role in our choice. Pivka’s 100% antibiotic-free chickens from mindful farming are denoted by a special label. They are available in outlets all over Slovenia, because we believe that this type of product should be accessible to everyone.
