BioBusiness research project: Training and development of innovative solutions for animal health and welfare problems by means of precision livestock farming (PLF) KU Leuven
In order to satisfy an increasing global hunger for meat, dairy, and eggs, livestock production is increasingly becoming industrialized worldwide. This agricultural transformation, however, is revealing animal health and welfare problems. A solution to this dilemma may lie in implementing new technology complimentary to industrial production that is founded in animal biology and capable of identifying and correcting health and welfare problems. ...
A critical reflection on intensive pork production with an emphasis on animal health and welfare Universiteit Gent
Future of keeping pet reptiles and amphibians : towards integrating animal welfare, human health and environmental sustainability Universiteit Gent
One health, one welfare, one right : introducing animal rights in Europe Universiteit Gent
The increasing interlinkage between humans and animals has led to the emergence of the ‘One Health’ and ‘One Welfare’ discourse. The covid-19 pandemic has proven the intersectionality between humans and animals and fueled these campaigns even more. The concept of One Health has in particular found its way into regulatory policy. A World Health Assembly resolution of 19 May 2020 includes a specific reference to One Health as an approach that ...

Quantitative verification of the correspondence between the Welfare Quality (R) operational definition of farm animal welfare and the opinion of Flemish farmers, citizens and vegetarians Instituut voor Landbouw-, Visserij- en Voedingsonderzoek Universiteit Gent
The Welfare Quality(R) project has developed an operational definition of farm animal welfare, which consists of 12 criteria grouped into four principles ('good feeding', `good housing'. `good health' and `appropriate behaviour') As part of a larger survey. 204 farmers, 72 vegetarians, and a representative sample of 459 adult citizens in Flanders (Belgium) scored the importance of each of the 12 criteria on a 1-10 scale, and divided 100 points ...
Balancing animal welfare and assisted reproduction: ethics of preclinical animal research for testing new reproductive technologies Vrije Universiteit Brussel Universiteit Gent
In the field of medically assisted reproduction (MAR), there is a growing emphasis on the importance of introducing new
assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) only after thorough preclinical safety research, including the use of animal models.
At the same time, there is international support for the three R’s (replace, reduce, refine), and the European Union even
aims at the full replacement of animals for research. The ...
