Recent advances in animal welfare science IV
UFAW Animal Welfare Conference

York Merchant Adventurers’ Hall, UK
**FULLY BOOKED**
The field of animal welfare is a cross-disciplinary area of study that seeks to offer guidance and find solutions to the challenges raised by our caring for and interactions with both kept and wild animals. As part of its on-going commitment to improving animal welfare through increased scientific understanding of animals’ needs and how these can be met, UFAW is holding the fourth of a series of one day conferences on ‘Recent advances in animal welfare science’ on 26th June 2014. This regular meeting, which will be held in York, aims to provide a forum at which the broad and growing international community of scientists, veterinary surgeons and others concerned with animal welfare can come together to share knowledge and practice, discuss advances and exchange views.
