Elgin Free Range Chickens
SA’s Most Trusted Free Range Chicken Producer
EFRC chickens are raised on a high-quality, maize-based diet that does not contain:
– routine antibiotics
– animal by-products
– growth stimulants (AGP’s)
To confirm this, we regularly carry out tests with independent SANAS-accredited and DAFF-registered laboratories. Their feed is supplemented by daily foraging outside for bugs, seeds, berries and nibbles of plants.
We ensure that our chickens always have enough space to roam, peck, and preen comfortably. More movement keeps our chickens and their immune system happy and healthy, the natural way.
Our high-quality standards don’t just stop at our chickens’ quality of life. We are against the use of brine injections. Instead, we believe in providing 100% chicken with its delicious natural flavour and that is why we also air chill our chickens as opposed to water chilling, to maintain the quality of the meat.
Our birds are routinely monitored by specialised poultry veterinarians. Our vets work together with our growers to improve farming practices so that our birds are always the healthiest and happiest that they can be. By raising our birds in a stress-free environment with quality nutrition, we allow their immune systems to flourish naturally.
