@JeanLoupRault@SG_PighD@AWSciCent Any updates on this topic? We recently received funding to implement ProHand Pigs(R) in Swe, and published a paper about training of pig transport drivers (also using ProHand). I still think a brainstorm meeting would be good! @mariaceballosb
Online Journal Pre-proof of our paper: “Training of transport drivers improves their handling of pigs during loading for transport to slaughter”
I’m very grateful to all people making this research possible 🐖❤️ https://t.co/Y8U9HUk9DL
@HerskinMette Thank you Mette! We recently received funding from Formas to continue working with the ProHand training program in Sweden, focusing on the pig industry including handling around transport. Happy to talk more about that with you. Not poultry, yet 😊

Så ett av de största hoten mot folkhälsan går inte ens att diskutera internt, än mindre kommunicera utåt, på FHM pga rädsla att klassas som aktivister? Världen rasar samman och de som är modiga nog att uttrycka oro straffas. @Folkhalsomynd https://t.co/L83yRqvFaS
