International speakers to address one day UFAW conference

The Universities Federation for Animal Welfare (UFAW) is holding the fourth of its popular one-day conferences on "Recent advances in animal welfare science" on June 26.


The meeting, part of UFAW’s ongoing commitment to promoting the study of animal welfare and its science, aims to provide a forum at which the growing international community of scientists, veterinarians and others concerned with animal welfare can come together to share knowledge and practice, exchange views and improve our understanding and care of animals.


A wide range of subjects will be covered by speakers from around the world, including amongst others: cognitive bias as a welfare indicator in horses; the welfare of chickens during transport; and the welfare of dairy cattle.
Over 60 poster presentations will also be featured.


The conference is being held in the Merchant Adventurers’ Hall in York.
