Strategic partnerships to improve animal welfare in the livestock sector
Australia’s red meat and livestock research and marketing body, Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA), has partnered with some of the country’s leading researchers to undertake a suite of projects focussed on improving animal welfare.
The Strategic Partnership for Animal Welfare, funded through the MLA Donor Company, is looking at a range of welfare issues affecting livestock in the red meat sector. The projects funded cover areas such as replacing painful husbandry procedures, appropriate pain management, objective assessment of the welfare of livestock and defining and improving stockperson attitudes and behaviour towards animal welfare.
