WHY WE SUPPORT WILD/FREE-RANGED PRODUCE | RogueRaw

Firstly, let's define the difference between the two. Factory farming is the practice of raising large numbers of animals in a confined space. These animals are typically fed a diet of genetically modified grains and are given antibiotics to prevent disease. On the other hand, free-range animals are allowed to roam freely outdoors, graze on grass, and are not given antibiotics unless necessary for treatment. Wild produce refers to food that is grown naturally in its environment without human intervention. Animals that are allowed to graze and roam outdoors have increased exposure to sunlight, which results in higher levels of vitamin D. Vitamin D is an essential nutrient in food for our pets as they CAN NOT absorb vitamin D from sunlight like humans can. In contrast, factory-farmed animals are often kept in confined spaces with little or no access to sunlight, resulting in lower levels of vitamin D in their meat.
