WHAT DOES BATTERY FARMING MEAN IN ENGLISH?

battery farming

Battery cage

Battery cages are a housing system used for various animal production methods, but primarily for egg-laying hens. The name arises from the arrangement of rows and columns of identical cages connected together, sharing common divider walls, as in the cells of a battery. Although the term is usually applied to poultry farming, similar cage systems are used for other animals. Battery cages have generated controversy among advocates for animal welfare, animal rights and industrial producers. It was estimated that over 60% of the world’s eggs were produced in industrial systems, mostly using battery cages, including over two thirds in the EU. In the UK, statistics from the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs indicate that 50% of eggs produced in the UK throughout 2010 were from cages. However, introduction of the European Union Council Directive 1999/74/EC which banned conventional battery cages in the EU from January 2012 for welfare reasons, means the number of eggs from battery cages in the EU states is rapidly decreasing.
