Practices common on dairy farms around the world are increasingly subject to criticism by consumers, citizens and other stakeholders. In this presentation, I will review different approaches livestock farming industries have applied to counter these criticisms, explain how and why these approaches have largely failed, and then describe a new plan for stakeholder engagement that we believe will more effectively address these concerns. One approach has been to increasingly hide practices from public view – for example, by using “ag-gag” legislation to reduce the chance of people seeing images illustrating contentious practices. Another approach has been to attempt to “educate” our critics in the hope that if they better understood the reasons why these procedures were performed, they would be more willing to accept their use. We will review evidence showing that neither approach is likely to succeed; indeed, efforts to reduce transparency result in reduced trust, and attempts to educate citizens can result in increased rather than decreased concerns. Är live, men kommer att spelas in och läggas upp på plattformen.

Under workshopen ”Livskompass” bygger vi på innehållet som visades i föreläsningen och du får möjlighet att utveckla din egen livskompass. Sänds endast live.

Assessing emotional states such as pain in non-human animals remains challenging as they are unable meaningfully communicate pain or any other emotional state to those who care for them, i.e., have self-report. Therefore, we must rely on proxy indices of pain, but in many cases, we cannot be sure how these indices relate to the underlying emotional state experienced by the animal.

For centuries, farriery has been a craft relying merely on tradition, personal experience and empirical evidence. However, over the last decades, an increasing number of studies have provided insight in the biomechanics of the hoof, and evidence-based data on the effect of specific trimming and shoeing techniques is gradually becoming available. Objective and quantitative tools to employ routinely in the assessment of equine locomotion and farriery techniques are gradually becoming available to the equine clinician and farrier. This presentation reviews the current biomechanical concepts that are important for evidence-based trimming and shoeing, and which are also relevant to consider during a prepurchase examination.

Föreläsning "Livskompass" handlar om att hitta det som är viktigast för dig i livet och hitta möjligheter för att  leva det. Det är du som har kontrollen och får välja!!!
