Animal welfare versus Genetic progress? Is genetic progress the problem, or can it be part of the solution for better animal welfare?
FABRE TP will host a challenge session at EAAP's Annual Meeting, which will take place in September in Florence, Italy.
Naomi Duijvesteijn, Chair of FABRE TP, and Flaviana Gottardo, Padova University, will chair our joint challenge session of the AH&W and Genetics EAAP Study Commissions and FABRE TP on "Animal Welfare Versus Genetic Progress? Is Genetic Progress the Problem, or Can It Be Part of the Solution for Better Animal Welfare”
Speakers and the audience are invited to have constructive debates on the role of animal genetics in the current welfare of animals and how animal welfare can be enhanced and considered in future breeding programmes.
