The number of farmers that received objections for not looking after sick animals in accordance with regulations has been reduced by 50%, confirming that farmers are taking animal welfare seriously.
According to Peter Enemark information and targeted campaigns are the way forward to a better animal welfare. And it is here that the Knowledge Centre has a role to play.
- In our work we inform about animal welfare directly through the communication channels we have access to, and we can see that the local advisers take the knowledge with them out to the farmers. This gives direct results on improved animal welfare on the farm he says and continues:
- But even though we have achieved good results we cannot relax, we must continue on the same track.
