In the event of disease outbreaks and animals need treatment accordingly to welfare standards, drugs are administered proportionately and in a strictly controlled manner, under the judgment of in-charge veterinarians who must hold the licenses from the Department of Livestock Development. The veterinarians will supervise the drug-free period, before the animals are sent to slaughter houses. Animal drug residue is traced before the slaughter, to assure consumers that CP FOODS's chicken is antibiotic-free.
Mr.Virachai added that Thailand's farming process has been improved significantly, thanks to strict regulatory control. For instance, the Department of Livestock Development sets out strict requirements concerning farm standards and pre-slaughter residue testing. As a result, Thailand's chicken industry has won international recognition, particularly the European Union and Japan which demands super-high food safety standards. Thailand has become the world's fourth largest chicken exporting country and chicken for domestic consumption is of export quality. As such, consumers can be assured of the safety of chicken, either produced by CP FOODS or other companies.
