The
Animal Care and Handling Conference for the
Food Industry is the leading animal welfare
educational opportunity for meat companies,
their customers and those involved in the
production and management of livestock and meat
products. This important conference has doubled
in size since it was launched in 1999 –
testament to the increasing significance of
animal care and handling in the meat
industry.
Why
should you attend?
This
highly-rated conference offers a variety of
professional development. Nearly a dozen
associations and organizations have teamed this
year to create a program that satisfies an
array of attendee needs. The Management and
Policy Track is ideal for those responsible for
“big picture” management of animal handling and
welfare. The track will address key strategies
for managing changing needs and trends – and
managing controversy, as well as auditing to
ensure welfare. The Applied Pig Handling and
Applied Cattle Handling tracks offer attendees
in-depth instruction by species. Leading
academic experts in the field will offer
instruction at a range of levels – from
beginner to advanced. Their presentations will
be complemented by practical insights from
industry experts.
Who should
attend?
- CEOs and senior managers who seek to understand new customer demands – and how to meet them.
- Plant managers and operations personnel responsible for implementing new animal handling programs – or improving existing ones.
- New livestock and poultry handlers on the front-lines.
- Animal welfare auditors looking to sharpen their skills.
- Retail and restaurant companies who seek to understand the issues and challenges involved in animal care and handling.
