Workshop 5: Building a Robust Systematic Approach to Animal Welfare

A Robust Systematic Approach to Animal Welfare is a written humane handling program that systematically goes through each step of the process from the time an animal arrives to the time it’s rendered insensible. Trainees will identify any areas in their facility that have potential for animal excitement, discomfort, or accidental injury and then create a written humane handling program to comply with the Humane Slaughter Act, proactively mitigate risk, and promote animal welfare. Trainees will leave this workshop with a complete collection of documents and training materials specific to their slaughter establishment.
