In this section, you will find the reports produced by the working groups of the Cattle Animal Welfare Competence Centre, which are designed to provide you with practical support for the care of your farm animals. These reports represent a compilation of knowledge that has been coordinated and technically supplemented by experts from the working groups of the Focus on Animal Welfare network and the federal states. Furthermore, the reports contain a well-founded synthesis of experience gained from consultancy and practical work, scientific data and the latest findings from applied research, the Animal Welfare Model and Demonstration Projects (MuD), as well as other current projects on topics relating to animal welfare and environmental protection.
