Our lab member Santiago Palacio recently attended and presented a poster at the Annual Animal Welfare Research Symposium hosted by the Campbell Centre for the Study of Animal Welfare (CCSAW) in Guelph, Ontario. Following this event he made his way down to Ames, Iowa to attend and present at the 13th North American Regional Meeting of the International Society of Applied Ethology (ISAE).
At both conferences he talked about the effects on the lactating cow's welfare when small affordable stall modifications and/or access to exercise were applied to cows housed in tie-stalls across Quebec and North Eastern Ontario.
We would like to thank our colleagues the University of Guelph and Iowa State University for putting on great events.
