Pope discussed some of the major issues the egg cooperatives are working on. Pope said UEP is constantly working on the nutrition issue created by the cholesterol con troversy. And improving the grading standards is another key issue. But the hottest issue currently is animal welfare, he said. The UEP president explained the organization has recently appointed a director of animal welfare, becoming the first commodity group to take this type of action. “UEP is more interested in animal welfare than its ad vocates,” Pope stated. He listed three steps UEP has taken on the matter; —an industry code of good management procedures has been developed; —it explains the industry situation, descibmg beak trim ming, force molt, and that chickens have better mental health when kept in cages than on open range; and —it has developed a cer tification program for producers. “I’m excited about our animals welfare policy,” he exclaimed. “We’re doing a good job 98 percent of the producers are already doing what’s planned. But it’s an emotional issue for producers they tend to get up set.” The following businesses sup ported the Pennsylvania Poultry Federation’s fund raising effort; Advanced Packaging Products Company Inc and Complete Packmgmg Inc Montgomeryville Agricultural Lending Institutionsd Pennsylvania Agn Inc Ephrata Agn Equipment Inc Ephrata Agway tnc Harrisburg Air Products and Chemicals Inc Allentown American Bank and Trust Co ofPenna Reading American Can Company Wayne Animal Health £ Specialties Inc Manheim Pennsylvania Harrisonburg Virginia Atlantic Feed Products Corporation and By Products Inc Secaucus New Jersey Babcock Farms Inc Ithaca NY Baltimore Spice Company Baltimore Maryland The Beacon Milling Company Inc York BigDutchman/Barker International Inc Atlanta Georgia Bird In-Hand Farms Inc Lancaster United Egg » reducers president A 1 Pope chats with Vicki Wass, the Pennsylvania Egg Promotion Specialist, with the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture during the Federation's fund raiser.
