Wednesday, 19 May 2021 | 09:30 – 11:00 CET REGISTER HERE
Animal health and welfare are key dimensions of the Farm to Fork strategy (F2F), the European Commission’s pivotal agri-food policy at the heart of the EU Green Deal. High-level standards of animal health and welfare not only improve food quality, but also reduce the need for medication with antibiotics on farms and in aquaculture and contribute to preserving biodiversity. Adequate animal nutrition combined with good hygiene practices on farms and proper housing are key in promoting and enforcing animal health and welfare. The feed sector has developed animal nutrition strategies as part of a multidisciplinary approach involving animal nutrition expertise in the design of farm health management plans.
Join this EURACTIV Virtual Conference to learn about and discuss how innovative animal nutrition strategies and solutions can be more effectively deployed at farm level to improve animal health and welfare.
