What is waiting you

In France, the number of slaughterhouses has decreased considerably over the past 20 years. As a result, many breeders can no longer find local slaughterhouses and are forced to transport their animals over great distances, causing stress, overwork and financial costs.

On the other hand, consumers are increasingly demanding on the conditions of slaughter. From the testimonies of a former slaughterhouse manager and trainer in a peasant slaughterhouse project, of peasants invested in projects or in reflection and committed amapiens, we will try to collectively see what we can initiate to respond to these issues.

The Animal Welfare Chair contributes to the evolution of breeding practices towards more sustainable models for the well-being of animals, breeders and the environment.
Through a series of conferences, come and discover initiatives illustrating the human-animal relationship and its impact on animal welfare, but also on comfort at work for the breeder. With: Xavier Boivin (researcher at INRAE), Pauline Garcia (breeder and animal behaviorist) and Sophie Brajon (ethologist).
Also come and learn about animal welfare news: Émilie Jeannin will present her mobile slaughter project. A round table will also be hosted on the various training courses for breeders developed by SNGTV, LIT Ouesterel, Danone / Phylum or even the Animal Welfare Chair.

The company ARGI SERVICES is organizing for the third time a technical meeting on clays and clay minerals as well as their uses in breeding and animal feed.
