Hoard’s Dairyman‘s next monthly webinar will be Monday, June 14 at noon (Central time). Nina von Keyserlingk from the University of British Columbia will present “Reimagining the future of dairy – Maintaining our social license by improving animal welfare.”
Many common practices on dairy farms are subject to criticism by consumers and other stakeholders. During the webinar, von Keyserlingk will review approaches that have created concern in the past and discuss some alternative options for moving forward. The webinar is sponsored by the Dairy Cattle Welfare Council(https://www.dcwcouncil.org).
