On February 2nd, 2023, our team joined the 7th session of dairy research showcase of "Dairy Farmers of Canada" webinar to present the results of our latest research. In this webinar, Dr. Marjorie Cellier, our post-doc, explained the effect of outdoor access management on locomotor activity of cows, and Amir Nejati, our former MSc. student, discussed the effect of outdoor access on gait and hoof health of dairy cows housed in movement-restricted environment.
Beside Elsa Vasseur's team, Dr. Sébastien Fournel, and Dr. Stéphane Godbout research teams presented their results on housing improvements and engineering to enhance cow welfare.
Through the following videos you can watch presentations and panel discussions of the webinar.

That’s an intriguing topic — the interplay of housing, movement, and engineering in improving dairy cow welfare offers a lot of insight into how thoughtful design can enhance living conditions across species.
For human students embarking on the move to a new city or country, choosing the right place to live matters just as much. If you’re heading to Australia for study, exploring student accommodation in Perth can provide you with comfortable, well-equipped housing that supports your academic and personal growth.
Great webinar! It’s really inspiring to see how improved housing and movement strategies are making a real difference in dairy cow welfare. On a different note: if any of you involved in ag-engineering or animal welfare happen to be looking for student accommodation in Loughborough, I’d be happy to share some trusted options nearby the campus.
