Measuring animal welfare and applying scientific advances - Why is it still so difficult?
27-29th June 2017
The theme of the symposium is: ‘Measuring animal welfare and applying scientific advances in animal welfare - Why is it still so difficult?’
Animal welfare science is a relatively young field but it is developing rapidly. A recent review noted that over the last two decades the number of scientific publications in this area has increased by 10-15% annually. This research has been used to make many real improvements to the welfare of animals throughout the world.
