Events: 4th SABRE Conference at EAAP Barcelona from 24th-27th August 2009 | 18.08.2009

Read More... This year, the 4th SABRE Conference will be integrated with the 60th Annual Meeting of the European Association for Animal Production (EAAP) in Barcelona from 24th-27th August 2009. There will be 21 theatre presentations and 13 posters arising from SABRE research, distributed throughout the four days of the conference, and there will be one dedicated EADGENE-SABRE session, titled “Molecular tools for disease resistance” on Thursday 27th August, during which the SABRE Work Packages on Gut Health (WP4) and Udder Health (WP5) will be addressed. A list with all SABRE presentations at the 60th EAAP is available on the SABRE website at www.sabre-eu.eu > News and Events > 4th SABRE Conference. The EAAP meetings attract typically 600-800 scientists, guaranteeing a broad dissemination of results. From the EAAP’s point of view, the inclusion of the SABRE Conference into EAAP programme adds some ‘spice’ to the Genetics sessions. From the SABRE perspective it aids dissemination of our results to a wider audience than we would usually reach at our annual conferences. Further information for the meeting is available from EAAP at www.eaap2009.com and the book of abstracts can be downloaded from www.wageningenacademic.com/eaap2009.

The conference will focus on the final results from the EU-financed research project, Welfare Quality®. Since 2004, the project has been developing a scientifically based on-farm assessment system for evaluating how well livestock are cared for and ways to feed this information back to farmers, consumers and other stakeholders. Welfare Quality also developed tools and strategies to support implementation. Another topic of discussion at the conference will be how to improve global animal welfare. The conference is free of charge but participants pay for their own travel and accommodation. The number of participants is limited. Hotel accommodation has been reserved in Uppsala and will be available for booking when registering to attend the conference, which can be done from July onwards.
