Webinar on “Using sensor data for animal health and welfare improvement along
the dairy value chain: merits and requirements”
25 May, 2023, h. 8.30 -13.00 (Paris time)
During the ICAR Annual Conference from Toledo, ICAR and IDF organise a webinar on Using sensor data for animal health and welfare improvement on 25 May, 2023, h. 8.30 -13.00 (Paris time). The workshop is free of charge for remote participants. upon registration here
In order to present the webinar, a specific brochure has been prepared and made available here
Aims and scope
The aim of the workshop was to explore needs and discuss requirements for the use of sensor data in the context of animal health and welfare. Stakeholders along the dairy value chain will have the opportunity to present their perspectives, interests and demands for the use of sensor data. Presentations by different experts on the use of sensor technology for various purposes such as animal welfare assessment or genetics together with success stories from different application areas should help to gain new insights, adapt successful strategies for new purposes and reveal knowledge gaps. In a joint discussion with the audience these knowledge gaps and needs by various stakeholders were discussed, refined, and prioritized also regarding the role of the ICAR Functional Traits Working Group and the IDF Standing Committee on Animal Health and Welfare for supporting future developments.
Please note, that the workshop does not cover issues of sensor data accessibility or retrieval itself!
Moderators: ICAR FT WG (Christa Egger-Danner) and IDF SCAHW (Anabel Mulet Cabero)
