The projects are carried out, if necessary, in co-operation with partners, universities, technical colleges, label organizations, abattoirs, and government agencies.

Topics

The projects of the Competence Centre deal with species-related themes as, for instance, animal-friendly rearing of calves, the castration of piglets with anesthetics, alternatives in the evacuation of hen and pullet housings, or respectful slaughter. In addition, we pursue general objectives using the rating of husbandry systems, scoring systems for animal welfare, or specific lobbying.
