25-Nov-2010 (15 years 6 months 13 days ago)What is animal welfare to a pig, and what does science know about methods to measure animal welfare? Now, Danish research in animal welfare is gathered at a Danish Centre for Animal Welfare.
On 18 November Denmark's Minister of Justice and the Minister for Food, Agriculture and Fisheries opened a new centre for animal welfare.
The aim of the new centre is to gather and spread knowledge about livestock production in Denmark and abroad.
“The centre's strength lies in the close collaboration between the universities and the Danish authorities. Collecting relevant data from authorities, agriculture and research will give us a far better basis for assessing whether there are problems with animal welfare,” says Minister for Food, Agriculture and Fisheries Henrik Høegh.
