U.S. Poultry & Egg Association (USPOULTRY) has created a series of six short videos designed to shed light on why concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) are an important part of the poultry industry.
Called Poultry Insight, and the series of videos is a discussion with Paul Bredwell, vice president of environmental programs for USPOULTRY. The video series explains what a CAFO is, who owns CAFOs, potential impact of CAFOs on the environment, how producers manage their operations to avoid adverse environmental impacts, the benefits of CAFOs and who regulates them.

"This series of videos is designed to provide a general overview about CAFOs in the poultry industry, and we welcome any feedback from consumers who have additional questions," USPOULTRY President John Starkey said in a news release.

The videos may be viewed on USPOULTRY’s website, www.uspoultry.org.
