Online workshop: Pig welfare in times with low antibiotic usage and no medical zinc oxide

Join this online meeting and hear results from the research project “Phasing out medical zinc oxide and restrictive use of antibiotics in pig herds – how does it affect animal welfare?” The meeting is an opportunity for cross-country reflections and learning between vets and national welfare inspectors on dilemmas and challenges regarding animal welfare with low usage of medicine. During the workshop, we will combine presentations of research results with sharing of experiences and viewpoints from participants.
