Forum :: 4th Expert Forum on Farm Animal Well-Being

Aware of the fact that animal welfare has become a salient issue, Boehringer Ingelheim held its 4th International Expert Forum on Farm Animal Well-Being on 27th May in Seville. The meeting was attended by some 100 participants from 14 different countries and was divided into three sections with a total of nine presentations.
This year’s edition also saw the announcement of an upcoming website dedicated to the Forum. The Forum’s presentations showed that there is an urgent need to raise farmers' awareness of basic and easy-to-implement guidelines for interaction with their animals and to communicate these guidelines directly to the farming community.
