At Bj\u00e4ref\u00e5gel we usually say that quality starts with care. For Mats, who works as a livestock keeper and responsible for breeding at Bj\u00e4ref\u00e5gel, it\u2019s more than just words \u2013 it\u2019s an obvious part of every workday.<\/p>\n\n
Mats is responsible for the chicken breeding and always starts his day with his rounds of the stables. Ensuring the chickens are well-fed is always a top priority. Recently, we have also made further improvements in the stables, including by providing the chickens with mineral blocks to nibble on for extra stimulation and well-being, as well as straw bedding that they love to bathe in. The chickens have already been using alfalfa bales to lie on and pull out their feathers since before.<\/p>\n\n
\u2013 You get to know the chickens and see if they are doing well. If there is anything that doesn\u2019t seem right, you check various parameters, such as fans, temperature, or other elements in the environment. Then you can quickly find the cause and fix the problem.<\/p>\n\n
The care for the animals also permeates Mats\u2019s view of sustainability. For him, sustainability is about taking responsibility for the entire cycle \u2013 from recycling and resource efficiency to the collaboration with local farmers who handle the manure from the farms.<\/p>\n\n
But above all, the work is about the animals.<\/p>\n\n
\u2013 I don\u2019t leave the stables until I know that the animals are doing well. Do the animals sleep well, do I sleep well? says Mats.<\/p>\n\n
For Mats, there is also a clear connection between animal welfare and quality. Being part of a local company with a strong focus on ethical animal husbandry was a conscious choice for him.<\/p>\n\n
\u2013 I didn\u2019t want to work at an animal factory. For me, it\u2019s important to be in a place where the care of the animals is at the center.<\/p>\n\n
\u2013 It shows that we take good care of our animals. That contributes to the good taste. Animals that are well cared for usually taste good, as we often say \u2013 and that is true.<\/p>\n\n
For us, Mats\u2019 commitment is a clear example of the people behind the quality. It is the care, knowledge, and responsibility in daily work that makes a difference \u2013 for the animals, for the environment, and for the taste of the plate.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
