ANIPLAN

Communication about animal health and welfare planning (WP4) 

WP 4 consists of the following activities: 

1) An evaluation of existing advisory systems and farmer group acticvities in the participating countries.

2) Development of communication principles in animal health promotion work in the advisory dialogue and in farmer groups.

3) Analysing and implementing farmer groups following national adoptions to the Danish Stable School principle for minimisation of medicine use through animal health and welfare promotion and disease prevention.

We presented this paper on the IFSA symposium (http://ifsa.boku.ac.at) in Vienna in July 2010, in which we highlighted some of the communication principles and issues on how to make farmer groups work based on experiences from the different ANIPLAN partner countries.
