The focus will be on providing practical dairy welfare
education, including workshops for veterinary students, veterinary
practitioners, and dairy producers.
It will also include a fourth-year dairy welfare rotation
for students within the doctor of veterinary medicine program.
“This new program fits nicely with our mission to promote
the welfare of animals through research, outreach and education” says Tina
Widowski, professor of animal and poultry science and director of the Campbell
Centre for the Study of Animal Welfare.
“It will complement and help expand current animal health
and well-being learning opportunities offered at the University of Guelph,” she
said.
