AMIF offers Animal Care & Handling Conference Oct. 16-17 in K.C.
The AMI Foundation (AMIF) Animal Care and Handling Conference for the Food Industry, the leading animal welfare education opportunity for meat and poultry companies, their customers and those involved in the production and management of livestock and meat products, will be held October 16-17, 2013, at the Westin Crown Center, Kansas City, Missouri.
This highly-rated conference, now in its 15th year, offers a variety of professional development opportunities. Nearly a dozen associations and organizations have collaborated this year to create a program that satisfies an array of attendee needs. General Session topics will include public perception and ethics of animal welfare, a USDA humane handling panel discussion, a look at animal welfare from the customer perspective, and a closing panel discussion featuring teachers and students who have used materials from AMI’s Glass Walls project, which offers the public “virtual plant tours.”
