Legal innovations and current developments were discussed under the general topic of animal protection. In the afternoon there was a visit to the Thalheim/Wels branch of the HBLFA Raumberg-Gumpenstein. Branch manager Dr. Werner Hagmüller presented organic livestock farming using the example of organic breeding sows. The great interest of official colleagues in the activities of the HBLFA shows once again how important the work of the department is for agricultural practice.
