List of past and upcoming events with TechCare partners attendance.
Ailsa received her Batchelor of Science in Agriculture from the university of Glasgow in 2016, studying at SRUC Craibstone.
INRAE, a world’s leader institute for research on agriculture, food and the environment, carries out mission-oriented researches to address global current and future challenges faced by humankind and the planet.
In the scope of a collaboration looking to put in place the Walk-over-Weighing (WoW) platform under the farming conditions of the local Sarda sheep flock (Sardinia, Italy), Irene Llach Martínez (Engineer Assistant in TechCare, INRAE team) was received in November (3rd to 5th) by the local AGRIS team.
From May to October, Michelle has been working in the field, collecting data through two experiments. The first researched the effect of parasitism on lambs’ welfare in an indoor system.
Although the welfare of sheep and goats are often considered to be good, particularly in comparison to species that are farmed more intensively, there are still welfare issues that need to be addressed. Many of these issues arise because animals are managed in large groups and in an extensive environment which can be hard to monitor or observe.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 862050
