Overview

Animal welfare is an area of increasing consumer awareness, particularly regarding livestock production within the global food supply chain. The promotion of positive animal welfare, on farms, during transportation and at slaughter is essential for ethical, sustainable and quality production.

Although the correlation between animal welfare and meat quality is well established, many of the top meat producing countries and emerging markets struggle with access to educational tools to support the development of animal welfare practices that would enhance the quality and safety of the food they produce.

SGS has developed a training course on animal welfare for red meat species, which makes up a large proportion of the animals utilized in food production. It is designed for people who work in the red meat sector, who audit red meat slaughter facilities and abattoirs, or who are interested in understanding more about the physiological traits of red meat animals and how we can use that knowledge to improve animal welfare during our interactions with animals during the food production process.

Objective

Attendees will learn about the course, its content and why we have added it to our portfolio of services.
