This project addresses the risks posed by new breeding practices that were developed to improve animal welfare. An increase in the animals’ movement and the space allotted per animal, as well as the presence of bedding, degrades air quality and affects the health of workers. This project is divided into four main stages:
From 2019 to 2023
Project duration
Livestock production
Activity areas
Air quality, Animal welfare
Services
This project aims to reduce the health risks to workers posed by new breeding practices implemented to improve animal welfare.
