Animal Care
Improving animal health and welfare at farm level
Animal care aims to address issues of societal concern in relation to animal health and welfare at the farm level. The issues EuroDairy are focusing on are:
a) Practical welfare assessment
b) Alternative housing systems including integration with grazing
c) Reduction in the use of antimicrobials.
Within the EuroDairy network, many activities will be organised on this ‘accelerator of (ex)change’ in the dairy sector. Here an overview of everything you’ve missed so far!
