Foreword
The guide was produced as part of the ‘Fokus Tierwohl’ network. The ‘Fokus Tierwohl’ project is funded by the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL) as part of the Federal Livestock Farming Programme. It is a joint project involving the Chambers of Agriculture and agricultural institutions from all federal states, with the aim of improving the transfer of knowledge into practice in order to make pig, poultry and cattle farms fit for the future in terms of animal-welfare-friendly, environmentally sound and sustainable livestock farming. For the first time, this network brings together specialist knowledge, organises the exchange of experience between practitioners, scientists, advisers and other groups, and thereby facilitates and promotes knowledge-sharing within the sector.
