Are the birds given antibiotics?
Lilydale® complies with the rigorous government and industry standards on the use of antibiotics on poultry. “Chicken/Turkey farmers are responsible for the health and welfare of their birds and for providing safe, high quality food for consumers. If medication must be used, a strict withdrawal period is required before any bird can be marketed, ensuring there are no medication residues in the final product. All antibiotics are evaluated by the Veterinary Drugs Directorate of Health Canada, and there is significant veterinary oversight within the chicken/turkey industry, ensuring medications are only used when appropriate.”
