Livestock Welfare Conference Raumberg-Gumpenstein

This year's farm animal welfare conference Raumberg-Gumpenstein took place on May 18, 2022.

It once again served as a meeting place for consultants, educators, government representatives, and all those involved with animal welfare and the husbandry of farm animals. A total of approximately 120 participants (both in person and online) and a number of national and international speakers were welcomed.

The day was dedicated to current topics in animal protection, aspects of animal welfare on the farm and in marketing, as well as animal husbandry requirements in cattle, pig and poultry farming.

The complete program as well as all conference contributions and lectures can be found at www.raumberg-gumpenstein.at.
