Merck Animal Health (known as MSD Animal Health outside the United States and Canada) hosted leading animal welfare experts together with subject matter experts from agriculture, food processing/packing and retail – restaurants and grocers in a first of its kind symposium “Advancing Animal Welfare Together” in September in Dallas, Texas. The gathering, designed as an open dialogue for the 35 participants, explored ways to work together to address practices essential to animal welfare today, and advancements possible in the future.
The symposium is part of the Merck Animal Health commitment to helping deliver a safe, affordable and sustainable food supply to meet the world’s growing demand for animal protein, and was organized by the company’s recently created Veterinary & Consumer Affairs team.
