Second European Animal
Welfare Symposium
2th EUROPEAN ANIMAL WELFARE SYMPOSIUM
COMMITMENT
“Ensure
the welfare
of our animals”
This symposium arises from the need to create a meeting point to bring together all of the agents involved in looking after and ensuring the welfare of animals, and it aspires to be a relevant forum for all of the links in the meat sector production chain.
It will be the second edition of this event focused on the welfare of animals for livestock production in general and ruminants for meat purposes in particular. Possibly the first worldwide meeting of these characteristics and dimensions to address, from the scientific field, all aspects that guarantee animal welfare.
The objective is for scientists, technicians, producers, certifiers, farmers and different stakeholders in the chain debate and analyse the animal welfare situation within the European Union from a scientific and technical point of view.
Special attention will be paid to aspects related to the application of the legislative proposals that affect the farming reality and the contribution of accredited certification systems, such as tools to grant full objectivity guarantees in the assessment of the welfare of animals to all parties involved: farmers, distribution chain, consumers and Public Administrations.
The organitation and technical secretariat of the Symposium will be the responsibility of a select group of experts, scientists and technicians with proven experience in the field of this matter.
If you would like to participate, you can register free.
