National Chicken Council
National Chicken Council is a non-profit trade association based in the United States. It represents the interests of chicken producers and processors, and is involved in various aspects of the poultry industry.
History[edit | edit source]
The National Chicken Council was established in 1954. It was originally known as the National Broiler Council, reflecting the industry's focus on broiler chicken production. The name was changed to the National Chicken Council in 1998 to better represent the industry's broader scope, which includes not only broilers but also layer chickens and other types of poultry.
Role and Activities[edit | edit source]
The National Chicken Council's primary role is to advocate on behalf of its members in matters of public policy and industry standards. This includes lobbying efforts at the federal, state, and local levels, as well as participation in international trade negotiations. The council also provides a variety of services to its members, including market research, technical assistance, and educational programs.
In addition to its advocacy work, the National Chicken Council is involved in a number of initiatives aimed at promoting the consumption of chicken and improving the industry's environmental sustainability. These include the Chicken Check In program, which provides consumers with information about how chickens are raised and processed, and the Chicken Guarantees program, which sets out a series of commitments to animal welfare, food safety, and environmental stewardship.
Membership[edit | edit source]
Membership in the National Chicken Council is open to companies and organizations involved in the production, processing, and marketing of chicken. This includes both large multinational corporations and smaller, family-owned businesses. The council's members collectively account for more than 95% of the chicken sold in the United States.
