Annual Stock Welfare Review

Reporting Year 2026

Network Compliance
98.7%facilities meeting published Noble Standard requirements at audit
Review Scope

Housing, nutrition, clinical outcomes, behavioural welfare, handler records, recovery intervals and programme-specific production limits across active Noble Farms divisions.

The majority of divisions met or exceeded required welfare thresholds during the reporting period. Corrective actions shown below reflect documented exceptions, equipment reviews and programme-specific follow-up. Not every recorded deviation represents a stock-welfare breach.

COMPLIANT

Milking Stock

Collection recovery, body-condition stability and nutrition compliance remained within approved ranges. One non-injurious social-behaviour incident required temporary exercise separation.

Incident 14-B — Social / Mounting Behaviour →
EXEMPLARY

Dairy Stock

Improved collection intervals reduced mastitis incidence. No significant behavioural or housing deviations remained open at quarter close.

CORRECTIVE ACTION COMPLETED

Laying Stock

Overall laying health remained stable. One internal shell-failure case resulted in a seven-day production interruption and revision of shell-density supplementation for the affected cohort.

Clinical Incident 22-117 — Internal Shell Failure →
EXEMPLARY

Wool Stock

Skin irritation declined following revised washing intervals and bedding changes. One communicable-disease cluster within Flock 39 was resolved under medical protocol and resulted in revised intake screening.

Medical Report W-39 — Staff Access Required →
STAFF EQUIPMENT REVIEW

Adipose Stock

Stock welfare indicators remained within programme limits. A handler complaint concerning acoustic-protection headwear prompted an occupational equipment review in High-Mass Bay C.

Handler Complaint A-09 — Acoustic Protection →
EXEMPLARY

Breeding Stock

Gestational monitoring, post-partum recovery and neonatal-transfer outcomes met or exceeded published programme standards.

EXEMPLARY

Companion Stock

Placement stability remained high. Most corrective owner contacts related to non-approved treats, excess weight gain or inconsistent grooming schedules.

COMPLIANT

Equistock

Performance injuries remained within expected sporting ranges. Mandatory rest and return-to-track assessments were applied without significant deviation.

CORRECTIVE ACTION COMPLETED

Labour Stock

Heat-related fatigue during an exceptional summer period led to revised hydration intervals, shaded recovery points and lower maximum load thresholds during temperature alerts.

PROVISIONAL STANDARD

Arena Stock

The division remains under enhanced review during its founding intake. Post-event behavioural carryover has resulted in revised decompression and conditioning protocols.

DATA RESTRICTED

Specialty Stock

Welfare outcomes are assessed against commission-specific physiological and behavioural parameters. Aggregate reporting is not considered meaningful.

Restricted Operations

Processing Services

Welfare oversight under the Stock Welfare & Care Standard concludes at final-admission transfer. Subsequent controls fall under Restricted Operations Standard PS-7.
