Coachingssystem: Pig-Signals: Identify, understand and use (pig handling)
Livestock husbandry is confronted with huge challenges including animal welfare requirements, especially regarding non-curative interventions (like the abolition of castration without anaesthesia and tail docking). At the same time, it has to regain the acceptance of society for how farm animals are treated. An OPG with members from the educational sector, farm advisors and livestock keepers wants to elaborate important new fundaments and practical concepts for easy diffusion of knowledge and information in a practical approach. New media with visual contents about animal behaviour and other “animal signs” shall support the new training methods, to help livestock keepers during their daily evaluation of animals in the barn. The livestock unit managers´ sense of responsability and their ability to act shall be improved by the introduction of animal signs as a crucial part of training concepts as well as by individual coaching and cooperation between advisors and veterinarians in a practical approach. It shall help to process and edit new scientific findings much quicker in order to reach practical implementation so as to achieve significant improvement of animal welfare.
