Putenfleisch: Warum auch bio nicht ganz optimal ist

Horrific images, antibiotics, price wars: We're all familiar with the major fundamental problems in poultry farming. If consumers want to do better, they might turn to organic meat. But there are problems with turkeys in particular. Two large corporations worldwide determine which animals ultimately end up on our tables and in our canteens. In the meat industry, turkeys have been bred to be high-performance animals that produce a lot of meat in a short time. They grow so quickly that organic farming is difficult. Small farms can barely afford it. We're in such an absurd situation that the animals can barely reproduce naturally anymore. The animals are treated like products, not like living beings. Christina Bremer is working to change this and put the animal at the center so that even small farms can breed turkeys and sell them profitably. Here you can find a ZDFzoom documentary on the topic. Among other things, it randomly tests meat from German supermarkets and discount stores. The result: Almost two-thirds of conventional and at least a quarter of organic turkey meat samples were contaminated with antibiotic-resistant germs. https://www.zdf.de/dokumentation/zdfz... ----- Here on ZDFheute News, you'll find out what's happening in the world and what concerns us all: We provide insight into the news world, explain the background, and address social debates.
